This was a big hit at our celebration! All of the guests complimented on Jane’s work and thought this was an absolute great idea for a take home treasure from a party. There is nothing she can’t do. Jane stole the show! She’s simply the best!
Janes does an excellent job! She is friendly and wonderful to work with : )
Jane is an amazing artist. Everyone enjoyed their pictures. She never put her pencils down from the minute she started drawing. She is a very pleasant and accommodating professional.
Jane is a wonderful caricaturist! I specifically looked for artists whose drawings would be well received by our very diverse community, and when I asked our students and families how they liked their picture, they all responded very positively! She is kind, arrived on time for set up, and did well handling so many students at our end of year carnival.
Jane has the biggest smile and heart. And she is absolutely an amazing artist. She was the highlight of our engagement party at Rio restaurant. She quickly drew 4 couples and one individual while we sat, drank, and ate dinner. She was a pleasure to work with and felt like one of the family. Please book, Jane. She will meet all your expectations.
Jane was a pleasure to work with and a fabulous addition to our party! We received great feedback from our guests and everyone loved this fun personal touch. There was a constant line for Jane to draw for 4 hours so needless to say Jane should definitely be an addition to your party!

Jane was a highlight of my client appreciation event. We booked her service for two and a half hours, and due to the line for portraits, she agreed to stay an additional hour plus. Jane, even though offered, didn't take a break to eat or drink and kept a smile working nonstop. She was pleasant, great with children, and a total professional.

Initially, I was hesitant to hire a Caricaturist for my Christmas Open House. I was not sure how it would be received by my guests. Much to my surprise, hiring Jane Yamada Caricatures for the party became "the hit" of the evening! I continue to receive positive feedback from the guests, and everyone raves about Jane and her talent.
I didn't know Jane prior to my booking. Jane is professional, extremely talented and connects with people. My experience hiring Jane for my party could not have been better. Jane far exceeded my expectations.
I would give her more than 5-stars if I could and look forward to the next event that I could use her talents.
Thanks so much, Jane, for a great evening! Our company party was great, and you were awesome!
We used Jane for my son and daughters birthday party. We had a lot of guests and Jane worked non-stop for over 2 hours to ensure that everyone got a picture.

Everyone loves watching a caricature artist draw - so I provide an great form of entertainment, as well as providing a unique gift item for your guests to take home with them. I bring all my own equipment and I provide plastic sleeves for each of my drawings. I arrive 1/2 hour early to set up. My caricatures take 4 to 5 minutes each. My caricatures are fun and cute - never demeaning or insulting. I'm agreeable and easy to work with - and I'd love to make your next event really fun for everyone.
I've been drawing my whole life and I love making a career of it. After graduating from Art Center College of Design in LA, I pursued a career in commercial art and illustrating children's books for 20 years, before moving to Colorado. I now pursue my caricature work as well as other commercial types of art.
I don't require any special requirements - I just set up and draw.
