We recently asked Daniel to work at our Corporate Christmas Party. It was the right added touch for our event! Caricatures are fun!!! Daniel was reasonably priced, on-time, personable and very good at what he does. If you book him, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you Judy for leaving such a wonderful review! I had a wonderful time drawing caricatures for your party.
We booked Dan for our large fall fest (private school k-12 school) and we were impressed and so pleased with the caliber of art, the quality, and overall experience. Dan is not only a talented artist, he is also great with our students and families; he was patient and thoughtful and created a space that allowed for a great experience. Our families were all impressed and asked for referrals. We will definitely book again.

We have hired Danz Toonz for multiple events in Princeton, and his caricatures were a crowd favorite! His drawings added a fun and personalized touch, and guests couldn’t stop smiling as they watched their playful portraits come to life. Dan goes above and beyond, is always on time and great with customers. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a quirky, artistic flair to their event!

Dan was amazing to work with from beginning to end! He is so polite and responsive. Upon requesting a quote, he contacted me within the hour to discuss our engagement party turned surprise wedding. I explained what I wanted, Dan was super excited to be involved and very reasonably priced. He communicated regularly leading up to our event, arrived on time and ready to go! Our guests LOVED the live portraits!!! Dan is incredibly talented and captured our friends and family perfectly. Dan requested a photo of my fiancé and I prior to our party, he drew a portrait of us from that and had it displayed during our wedding. Not only did all of our guests get to go home with their portrait, Dan emailed us photos of all the drawings he did during our party. If you are looking for a fun, unique addition to your wedding, birthday party or corporate event - contact Dan!!! You will be so happy you did!

We hired Dan for our son's 7th birthday party. What a hit! Everyone was so excited to be drawn and loved the work he did. He arrived early and during the party checked in with guests who hadn't had a chance to sit for their picture (there were children hopped up on sugar running in circles lol). He stayed until the very end and made sure anyone who wanted a drawing had one. Dan was communicative from the time of inquiry until he arrived at the party. He was so patient, pleasant, and professional. I'd hired him again without hesitation/reservation.

Daniel was such a professional! He was prompt in responding and answered all of my questions and more when first inquiring. Our event was made extra special by having him.

We had no idea that a caricaturist would add so much entertainment and excitement to our event but when Daniel contacted us we thought it might be fun to find out. Indeed everyone enjoyed having him connect them to nature through his caricatures. He was easy to work with and adaptable to the unique situation at our event. Would highly recommend

About
Hi! My name is Dan.
I have been working as a professional artist since 2017. At the age of 19, I began working as a sketch artist at comic shop events and small toy and comic conventions.
Now, over seven years later, I have catered to hundreds of private and corporate clients throughout the tri state area. I am fully self taught. I did not go to an art school. I also never trained at theme parks. Instead, I used books and videos to learn the beautiful art of caricature.
I never expected to become a caricaturist. Now that I have done this for over half a decade I can’t imagine doing anything else. I love my job.
Additional Booking Notes
I supply a small portable set up. If the event is inside, I need a well lit area to set up and draw at. If the event is outside, I need to be placed in a well shaded area. The glare of the sun can affect my ability to draw my portraits.
