I offer your guests extremely unique entertainment and a personalized party favor all in one: live caricatures! Since 2000 I’ve delighted guests all over the country, and now serve the Nashville area exclusively. I love helping your party stand out: book me and your guests will remember it forever.
I had Tony as a caricature artist for our end-of-year party, and he was absolutely fantastic! Having him there was a wonderful surprise for my employees and quickly became the highlight of the night. Tony had a line of eager participants the entire time, and he handled it with professionalism and ease.
Not only is Tony incredibly talented, but he’s also very friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with, making the entire process smooth from start to finish. His presence added a unique and personal touch to our event that our guests truly enjoyed.
I highly recommend Tony if you’re looking for a fun and memorable addition to your party or gathering. Your guests will love it!
Tony, was a “perfect” addition to our annual Christmas party. Guests, absolutely enjoyed him & were thrilled with their caricatures.
Tony, was professional, fun, prompt and has a great sense of humor. I would hire him again!
Excelent and beautiful work! He was so nice and made sure our guest had a good laugh. I loved it !!!
Tony was great to work with! His caricatures were incredibly detailed and had the right amount of funny. Will hire him again for next year!
If you're considering hiring Tony for any sort of event - do it! Everyone loved his art and he had a line of eager participants throughout the whole evening. Not only is he out-of-this-world talented, he is professional, engaging, and everything you could ever want in a vendor. Such a unique and fun addition to our party!
Tony did a FABULOUS job! Everyone was so happy with his drawings. He was super awesome! We will surely use his services again!
Tony had a booth at the 2023 Strawberry Festival. It was so much fun watching him draw the people in line before us, and when it was our turn he was patient and friendly with our little boy. He did an amazing job! We really enjoyed the experience.
We hired Tony for our employee Christmas Party and he was awesome. We had about 85 people there and he got everyone done! Super friendly and patient with kids. Would definitely have him back.
Great idea for any party or event -
We had Tony do caricatures at our wedding and it was a huge hit. Tony is very nice and does awesome work. His art is funny and detailed and really looked like the subject. 10/10 would recommend!
Reliable, personable and talented
Tony did a fabulous job at our corporate event!
Tony was absolutely amazing - so much fun for our event, and everyone there enjoyed it very much, all ages! We would definitely recommend Tony and will look for another occasion to have him be a part.
Booked Tony less than 24 hours prior to our event and can't say enough about how wonderful he was to collaborate with. Our guests LOVED the experience as a compliment to an adult birthday dinner. Highly recommend.
I have hired Tony for 4 events and will continue to request him as Caricaturist for future event. He is prompt, professional and his art work is superb!
Tony was perfect. Totally appreciate his timeliness, willingness to work with my at such late notice, ability to seamlessly merge into the party, and most importantly his SKILLS. There's nothing really else to say. Highly recommend him.
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
Thank you so much for having me Carolyn! Your party was fantastic I was so happy to add to it.
Tony is very professional and does such great art work! I have requested Tony to sketch at 3 different events and he does a terrific job every time! My clients were so excited about their caricature and it was a big hit at our company event. I would highly recommend Tony for your next event or party.
I cannot praise Tony enough for his contributions to Project Access and Hickory Chase! Tony is personable, professional, and extremely talented. Everyone who leaves his chair leaves with a smile and he picks up on small details that you wouldn't expect! If you are looking for an artist for any event, you don't need to look any further. Tony is the best around! Thank you for everything Tony.
Professional, personable, not to mention FANTASTIC drawings! Wish our event could have been 100% attendance so everyone could see his work. Would absolutely recommend you hire him if he’s available. Most DEFINITELY one of our top 3 vendors (we had 13!). 10 stars!
Tony is a talented artist. Having a caricaturist was a great addition to our party.
Personalized, unique and fun!
It provided guest with a great takeaway and - content for Instagram! Thank you Tony!
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
May Winn,
Thank you again for inviting me to entertain at your beautiful home, and for the gigantic piece of cake! I would work for you any day, even in 100 degree weather. 😅
Congrats once again to your lovely grad(s)!

Tony is very talented. He made the party special !
Tony is fantastic! We hired Tony for a fundraising carnival at our bank. The guests were thrilled to have a caricature artist at our family friendly event. He is very professional, personable and the caricatures were GREAT! Thanks Tony!
Tony was a blast to work with! He was very professional and did everything in his power to make this as perfect of a proposal as can be! Highly reccomended!
Tony is always a hit and provides such an awesome and memorable keepsake. Thank you, Tony!
Tony arrived promptly and began sketching. Our guests really enjoyed having him at the party .
Something different and something to take home with them ! The only negative was I was waiting to let all of the other guests have their caricature drawn before I sat down and he left ( when his time was up) .I wasn’t aware that it was time . Just would have liked to have known that he was leaving . AND sad that I didn’t get a drawing . 😞
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
Amy! Thank you again for having me draw at your event--great crowd! I am also sad I didn't get to draw your caricature, I actually ended up staying an extra 30 minutes past your official booking time to try to accommodate as many people as possible! Not my standard practice, but I wanted to make sure and go the extra mile for you and the extra special birthday boy. Catch me next time before I pack up!
Tony was a welcome addition to my daughter's wedding reception. He is professional, talented and our guests loved their charicatures. I would definitely recommend using Tony for any event.
Tony's Caricatures was a highlight of our party and he did not stop drawing from the moment he set up! His drawings resembled each person so uniquely and he was personal with those who attended. He's a busy guy and we were lucky to have him! Project Access looks forward to working with Tony's Caricatures for future events :)
Tony did a great job of keeping our clients entertained at our trade show. His caricatures were wonderful and all of the participants were thrilled. He kept a steady flow of traffic at our booth. We have already hired him for another event.
Tony did a great job for us at a recent tradeshow. He took time to understand our company so that he could speak with prospects during their drawing. He’s also an incredible artist. We’ve already booked him for our next show.
You were such a hit at our grand opening event- the kids and adults alike equally enjoyed having you!
Tony is a professional and wonderful artist that really helped make our company event very special and memorable. Thank you!
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
Traci,
Thank you so much for your review and once again having me draw at one of your events - I'm thrilled everyone had such a great time!
Tony is the bomb!! Our wedding was one of a kind and he just was the cherry on top! I’m going to keep him on the speed dial for any future events!!!!
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
Jennifer, your wedding truly was one of a kind! Thank you again for inviting me to be a part of your big day, I loved entertaining your crowd!
Tony,
Thank you so much! The Middle School Formal Students had a ball getting their fun portraits of themselves and friends! Parents were all very impressed with your professionalism and how you had the middle school children talking and laughing and enjoying themselves as they were having their pictures drawn. Thank you again!
We hired Tony to draw caricatures during our reception for our wedding. He was such a hit with the guests! The caricatures are hilarious and he was great entertainment for people to watch. If you are looking for something unique for your event, hire Tony!
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
Samantha,
Thank you so much for having me, what a fun crowd! And thank you so much for your feedback, it means a lot. Let me know if there’s ever anything else I can do for you guys.
-Tony
Tony did a great job. He's great with kids and provide excellent drawings. I'd certainly rehire Tony for an event. Thanks Tony!
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
Thank you so much for having me Chris, and for those kind words! It was a great experience working with your team and I hope the grand opening was a success.
** If you are looking for great wedding/party entertainment that sets you apart from the normal photobooth scene..THEN TONY IS THE PROFESSIONAL YOU NEED!!!***
Tony was the hit entertainment at our wedding in January 2018!!!! All of our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun they had and loved being taken back to their childhood for a moment to get an amazing funny drawing. Tony is very professional and was a joy to work with. We will definitely book him again in the future. Thank you again for everything Tony!!!
We had our caricature done at the Ohio State Fair and love it! Tony knows how to capture personalities in a short amount of time. So much, that I had him draw a caricature of my boyfriends 2 cats that I emailed to him, and it is so good! I will ask him to draw for my daughters pets as well. THANKS TONY!
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
Thanks for your kind words Dania. I had a great time meeting and drawing you guys - the cats were a super fun bonus! Thank you for sharing your memories with me.
We had Tony draw at our wedding reception in June and he was fantastic! He is kind, professional, and a great artist - our guests really loved it! We booked Tony for 2.5 hours and it was totally worth it - our only wish was that we had booked him for longer because it was so much fun!
Response from Tony's Caricatures:
Janey, thank you again for having me draw at your wedding, and for the kind words. Loved working for you guys!

I offer unique entertainment and a personalized party favor in one. I average between 20-25 faces per hour in black-and-white, or 6-7 faces per hour in color. In addition, each guest receives a cylindrical bag to store & protect their sketch. Don't forget that it's a spectator sport, so while I'm drawing each guest a crowd forms behind me to watch the process and cheer and jeer the participants! I bring all my own equipment, I just ask clients to have at least two (2) chairs for me to use, but I can bring my own upon request. I look forward to making your party that much more memorable!
With the attraction of my interactive art form, I love increasing the 'fun factor' at live events. Since 2000 I've drawn caricatures at over 300 events and given over 25,000 people the chance to laugh at a cartoony image of their face. I average about 20 faces per hour in black and white, but my record is 37 faces per hour. Your guests won't be sitting long but they'll remember your party forever!
I only ask two things from you:
1. CHAIRS
As mentioned previously, all I need are at least two (2) chairs, one for me and one for my subject(s). If you don't have chairs let me know and I can bring some.
2. LIGHTING
Please be sure the lighting for your event is adequate for the caricature area. However if you believe lighting to be a concern let me know and I can bring my own battery-powered lights.
