Hurtado Arts

Hurtado Arts was a class act! He arrived early, which allowed himself time to set-up and be ready to start drawing at the allotted time. He was personable and really recreated images that party-goers LOVED!

He was gracious with his time and did not make this feel transactional at all.

Thank you for assisting in making this a memorable event!

We hired him for my child’s birthday party, he was so friendly and wow what a great artist! Everyone loved it! Would definitely hire him again for other functions.

He did an AMAZING job! His caricatures were spot on in terms of likeness to the subject! He was working nonstop the entire time, and all the guests loved watching him as well as getting their caricatures done! If I could change one thing, I would clone him because, of course, the drawings do take some time, and we had over 100 guests! Looking forward to having him at our party next year! ☺️

I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Roger! He was engaging, professional and so talented! He worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had their picture drawn at our party. He was excellent with both children and seniors and everyone in between. He’s not only quick, but also pays extreme attention to detail. We will recommend him to anyone looking for a fun addition to a party! Thank you so much Roger!

We had such a blast with Roger! He is a great conversationalist and his art turned out great! I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for something fun to add to any event!!

Everyone loved the caricatures. Fun and easy to talk to. Thrilled everyone - Kids to adults. Would so recommend him for you events!

Roger provided incredible services for our bachelorette event. Everyone loved their caricatures. He was very personable and a great addition to our party. Highly recommend!

I would recommend and already have to everyone. He make my event a huge huge success

Mr. Hurtado was a huge hit at our party. His work was great and he was super easy to work with. I would definitely book with him again!

Rodger did an amazing job at our Post Prom event. He worked quickly and diligently. He was fun to talk with while he worked. He was very personable with the high school students. The students LOVED their drawings and I am excited to hire him again in the future for many other events.

Roger came to my 30th birthday party and was such a hit. He made the party extra special. He is super talented and great. He also does his work very fast. Will be hiring him again!

We had an amazing experience with this artist for our Valentine's Day event in downtown Chicago. He produced great work!

The artist was very friendly and engaging. He was also very quick with each drawing and everyone absolutely loved them.

I booked Roger for our small casual wedding. He was on time, polite, worked diligently, and was involved with our guests as he drew them. He added so much fun to our wedding. Everyone loved him! His work was great and really captured who our guests are. We look forward to the possibilities of booking him for other events again in the future!

Roger was great. His art is playful and fun and his attention to detail captures people perfectly. Everyone at our party loved him.

The caricatures were perfect and very funny
The artist arrived early to the event and stayed until he drew everyone.
He was really nice and fun
I would recommend him to private events. This was a perfect addition to the party
Thank you

Roger was on time, did a fantastic job and delighted my guests. It was a surprise for my husbands 60th birthday party and he loved it also.

Hired Roger to help with a how to draw activity books project. He never delivered. He kept saying he would get to it - I kindly asked him to please just let me know if he wasn't going to do it so it didn't hold up the project (which the graphic artists, video team and others had to wait for the illustrations to get their jobs done)... he kept saying he was going to get to it but NEVER did.. it cost us time and caused us genuine frustration... not to mention delaying our amazing project from getting to the kids for many months due to Roger not simply saying I changed my mind and am not going to do what we agreed upon!

Roger was great! Professional, interactive, entertaining, and is a great artist. We had about 25 people at our event. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed their drawings. He was a big hit with all age groups.

Roger really turned our party into a 5 star event! Everyone LOVED his work & how entertaining he was! Our BEST Christmas party to date (and I've been here 19 years!!) Very highly recommend!!!! Loved you Roger!!!!

I had hurtado arts for my wedding as well as another artist come. I created placecards for my guests so they could be reused to mark their place in line for the drawing. That way guest could dance and have fun instead of standing in a long line at the wedding. I told this to roger and I heard from several guests that after I walked away he immediately said that's stupid I'm not doing that. You don't disregard what the bride says. Also my brothers went up to him and told him he needed to be doing the placecard thing and he blatantly told them no that's stupid I'm not doing that and started badmouthing them to my guests in front of them. He is BEYOND unprofessional and rude! If I knew during the wedding he did any of that I would have kicked him out of my wedding. Also he made the men look like creepy feminine ventriloquist dolls. We had another artist there who was very nice, added color to the drawings and added personal touches about the person she was drawing. Stark comparison.

Rogerr did an excellent job for us at our company party. He was engaging, accomodating and best of all a superb caricaturist. He took soem prompts from us about attendees and used it in his pictorals and everyone loved the final product, thanks Roger for a super event.

Very professional and great at what he does. We are going to book him again to come back and draw the associates that didnt get a drawing at our party.

Everyone loved their drawings I would recommend him for party's
