Our party was made all the more memorable thanks him!! His talent brought a unique and entertaining element to the event, leaving everyone impressed and entertained.
By the end of the party, the caricaturist had created hilarious portraits that had everyone laughing. If you're considering hiring entertainment for your next event, I highly recommend booking him.

Solomon was early for the job, and brought with him a sketch of my dog and me so I could showcase his work to the crowd as the party was starting. Everyone was raving about how good his work is the entire event. People were sharing his info with their friends. He really helped make our event a huge success! I'd hire him every single time that budget allows! He even did one last portrait after his 90min with us had already expired.

King Caricatures was amazing to work with. He even went above and beyond what he needed to do. He customized the paper for our event by printing it with our school logo, so it was a great commemorative gift for our grads.

Fun experience to get your portrait done by Sol. I have also had my dog drawn and it's something fun that I cherish now that my dog has passed. Totally recommend anyone to do this for a fun event.

What to Expect
I arrive with my portable drawing board and draw your guests. It takes about 10 minutes per person for black and white.
About
Drawing quality caricatures quickly and accurately has been my passion and profession for years. I discovered my knack for capturing personalities with a few bold strokes early on, and since then, I've honed my craft through countless sketches at some of the busiest venues.
My career is caricatures began amidst the hustle and bustle of Navy Pier, Six Flags, and the Bristol Renaissance Faire. Drawing lines of eager customers taught me the importance of speed without compromising on quality. Each sketch became a challenge and an opportunity to refine my technique, ensuring every face I drew had its own unique charm.
Today, I bring my artistry to events of all sizes, from intimate family gatherings to high-profile corporate clients such as Motorola Solutions and The Chicago Bulls. Whether it's a birthday party or a corporate gala, my goal remains the same: to delight guests with caricatures that not only capture their likeness but also evoke laughter and joy.
My approach blends meticulous observation with a quick hand, allowing me to distill complex features into simplified, yet expressive forms on paper. I thrive on the interaction with my subjects, engaging them in light-hearted banter as I sketch, ensuring each caricature is not just a likeness but a memorable experience.
Beyond events, I continue to explore new styles and techniques in my studio, constantly pushing the boundaries of caricature artistry with mediums such as graphite and airbrush paint; in an endless pursuit to capture the essence of my favorite famous people and personalities.
I am grateful for the opportunities to evoke so many smiles and bursts of laughter and to capture special moments for people. Each drawing reinforces my belief in the power of caricature art to connect, entertain, and celebrate the diversity of humankind.
