This was a great addition to our Halloween party. He was great to work with and guests loved capturing their Halloween costumes in the form of a caricature.
We had Jedd for our annual kids Halloween party for 2.5 hours. He was able to draw for all our guests and even stayed extra to get everyone done! Everyone loved their drawings! I would hire him again
Jedd did an incredible job of connecting with the guests in our store and providing a fun experience for them. He is efficient, talented, and a very nice person. We will be booking again in the near future!
Big thanks for a great job. I spoke with him on the phone prior to discuss the arrangement for the day. Gave him the info for the event site and manager and everything went great. I, the bride, never actually saw him (the event space is broken up in to different sections), but all I know is he was there, as evidenced by all the great caricatures I saw throughout the night and people saying they really liked him! I consider that a job well done and no stress for me! He came to the rescues when our previously hired artist backed out at the last minute, and was very reasonable on pricing. Some others we looks at were outrageously priced. Grateful we found him!
Both kids and adults loved Fresh Squeezed Faces! The drawings were all very complementary and cute but still exaggerated. I would recommend him to everyone. Very polite, professional and fun to work with. It really made our party!

Jedd was so easy to work with and flexible to meet our needs - which was to draw teams of employees for an in-house event. His drawings were quite detailed and accurate (albeit a caricature). We had a lot of fun and I would definitely use him again!
Jedd did a fabulous job for us. He worked tirelessly for three hours creating memories for the members of the Pool and Yacht Club. He was pleasant, creative and a wonderful addition to our party. Thank you Jedd!!!
Response from Fresh Squeezed Faces:
The Pool and Yacht Club Anniversary was a blast! Thank you, Maureen!
We hired Jedd to draw caricatures at our trade show booth at NACA Nationals. Jedd was lovely to work with and provided a wonderful experience to the convention attendees. Everyone was so happy to have something to take home as a keepsake. Jedd is super friendly and fun. You'll definitely want him at your next event. :)
Response from Fresh Squeezed Faces:
Always a pleasure! Shirene, JoAnna and Joey were great hosts, too!
We were very nervous to book this as our main entertainment for our company Christmas party. Turns out almost all of the employees wanted to get drawn after seeing some of his work. Jedd did a great job and we would recommend him to anyone. Really added a lot of fun to the party.
Jedd showed up on time, cheerfully worked through the whole event (3+ hours), and made lots of people laugh. Our guests enjoyed the grad party more because he was there!
Response from Fresh Squeezed Faces:
Thank you, Steve! I enjoyed working for you and your guests, too!

NORMAL PARTY CARICATURES: Party guests will stand near me—watching as I draw—often commenting on the drawing or badgering the drawing subjects. They have as much fun watching as the person or couple being drawn. I am quickly studying their facial features and drawing the most noticeable ones I see. In seconds, I start grinning because I get an idea of how this is going to turn out. Sometimes, I make faces at them or pretend to make a mistake, just to get them to react. It's all fun for everyone. When the drawing is complete, I show it for all to see and give it to the willing victim! ...NEXT! The people decide who is in line next and we do it again!
VIRTUAL CARICATURES: A fully virtual caricature experience is an option—even across country! It does require more preparation from you, such as a large screen for viewing, a line organizer, a cloud-based photo sharing center, a printer and photo paper (if you choose to print on site) and a few webcams or other internet-ready camera devices that guests look at while being drawn. Email for more details. At least two cameras are required at your site. To use a baseball analogy, one guest is “at bat” and the next one is “on deck”.
SOCIALLY DISTANT: I bring the extra media gear (or you provide some), such as large screen/projector for viewing, computer/ipad, printer, cables, easel, chair. Many more guests can view live artwork on screen while maintaining a 6-foot distance.
Welcome to Fresh Squeezed Faces! My name is Jedd Bluhm, a St. Paul, MN native. I am a freelance illustrator who likes to draw caricatures... funny cartoons that look like you and your guests in only a few minutes' time. I have been drawing caricatures professionally for five years, constantly improving my work. You will always get my best!
I typically require a two-hour minimum contract. However, events within a 10 mile radius from 55102 can hire me for only one hour, if desired. Customer pays my driving expenses at $0.50 a mile, roundtrip. Long distance travel will be paid by you, the customer (your details help me provide an estimate when I submit a bid).
At the event, I need you to provide three chairs (one for me and two for my drawing subjects) and a location where your guests can freely come and go, away from direct exposure to the elements. If a line up is not possible, I can wander the room, but it limits the view for casual onlookers.
I provide the paper and drawing equipment. There are options available for paper sizes and printed messages!
For large events, multiple artists may be needed.
Details about your event and schedule are required before I can agree to work for you.
Call or email early to have the best chance for my availability. Thank you letting me make your event a smashing success!
Lighting must be good, or I will need to bring my own lights. Indoors, preferably, but for sure away from rain and direct sunshine. We don't want to put your guests in a precarious position for any length of time. I need you to provide three chairs and a central location to maximize traffic and keep an audience. I will bring a drawing easel and appropriate tools.
