Response from Shippeetoons:
Thank you, Lee! I certainly had fun with your students, and it seemed like they enjoyed themselves, too!!
This is the 2nd time I have hired Jerry for a family event. First was for my sister's 40th Birthday a few years ago and this time for my parent's 50th Anniversary. He kept everyone entertained throughout the afternoon and having caricature is a great party favor.
Response from Shippeetoons:
Thank you, Samua! I look forward to working with you and your family in the future.
Shippeetoons was absolutely the highlight of our Halloween party and residents are still talking about it! We will absolutely be bringing him back for future events.
Professional, great communication and so much talent and speed behind his work (great with a larger crowd).

Robert,
Thank you! I had such fun at your party. Everyone there was a pleasure to draw!!
Artist arrived early to set up. He was flexible with start times to accommodate our guests that were excited to sit right away. He was very personable and made each guest laugh while at his table. I would highly recommend this artist.

Response from Shippeetoons:
Thanks for having me! I loved interacting with the kids - and seeing them laugh and smile!!
We had such a fantastic time with Jerry at our son’s 11th year birthday party. His fiends and all of the adults were thoroughly entertained and impressed by Jerry and his artwork. He provided hours of enjoyment and was extremely engaging with all of the children. I highly recommend him for any party!!

He was a pleasure to work with and we would 100% book him again, in a heartbeat!

Response from Shippeetoons:
Thank you Mindy. It was my pleasure to put smiles on the employees faces!
It was great having Jerry create caricatures from photos I sent to him of the 11 Seniors on my daughter's Track Team! He was so great contacting me and getting details down and making this happen in a short period of time. This was something special for a group of kids that have missed out on so much over the past year! The adults and kids all got a kick out of the caricatures! He definitely does an Awesome job!
Easy and fast completion of my job.
Jerry was a good communicator he was on time he did a great job on everyone’s photos I would highly recommend him

Response from Shippeetoons:
Linda,
Thank you! I very much enjoyed working with the kids and parents. Love to see so many smiling faces!

Response from Shippeetoons:
Thank you, Chad! I had so much fun with your family!!
Jerry was very easy to work with and did great work. I got so many compliments from the guests. I would highly recommend him!!
He worked hard to include as many of our guests as possible. Everyone loved it. Great party favors! Thanks!
Response from Shippeetoons:
Thank you, Virginia! Only wish we could've stayed longer for you.
Besides his amazing talent, Jerry was a pleasure to have at our daughters Birthday Party. He did not just draw great pictures, he interacted with eveyone, joking and making everyone laugh. I would highly recommend him for any event.
We hired Jerry for our wedding. He was a huge hit and many people have told us he was the highlight of the wedding! He was great about asking the guests questions, and using their answers to personalize their caricature. We are framing ours and I know other guests are planning on doing so too. I highly recommend hiring him, much cooler and much more unique than a Photo Booth.
Response from Shippeetoons:
Thank you! I had a blast at your wedding! You and Shane are a fun loving couple. I wish you all the best in your life together!
Jerry was personable and developed an amazing rapport with my guests.
Response from Shippeetoons:
Thank you for your kind words!
We were throwing an event to raise money for a charity. Many children and adults were in attendance.
Shippeetoons was not only punctual, courteous, but also very professional and fun!!
The drawing were fun and great conversation starters!!
We would highly recommend Shippeetoons for any event!!
Shippeetoons was a hit with everyone of all ages at my event. (50th B-Day party) I would definetly do this again!!

Jerry creates caricatures right before your eyes! While building a fun atmosphere through witty conversation with guests of all ages. He works hard to make your event a success!
I have been a cartoonist/illustrator for more than 20 years, and enjoy creating art with a wide variety of subjects. I have worked as a comic strip artist, and comic book artist, as well as drawing caricatures. I have studied under well known artists in those area's, and also teach those disciplines to school children/teens. I believe that art should bring joy to as many people as possible!
Please notify if you need Jerry to bring chairs, lighting, tables, or canopy. He can also do "floating" caricatures - going from table to table, and digital caricatures - electricity must be available. Breaks are usually in 2 hour intervals (when booked for 4 hrs or more).
Jerry can also create one of a kind studio pieces. These can be stand alone, or together with your event (ex. large format watercolor caricature scene with white space left for guests to sign - can then be framed!)
