Jon from SocalToons was awesome! Very professional and his work is amazing. We had a group of about 40+ kids and each one was thrilled with their drawing. Everybody loved their pictures! We now have artwork to remember my son Andrew 5th birthday party. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to hire a caricature artist. I greatly appreciated his willingness to work later than our agreed upon time to finish the last few people who were still waiting for their caricature drawing. I would definitely hire Jon for future events. Thanks so much, Jon!

Jon was amazing! I can't thank him enough for making my dogs birthday party a huge success! He stayed longer to make sure all dogs received a caricature and he was so sweet to everyone! I can't wait to have another party and have him back! Thank you, Jon! People are still talking about their dog caricatures! :)

Jon was the BEST! He arrived early and got started right away. Everyone at the party was raving about their Caricatures. The reason i went with Jon was the price...his price per hour beats most if not all the competition, but you get WAY more than what you pay for. I even paid for an extra hour so that everyone could get there caricature done. Jon was very nice and approachable and got along with all the guest and the little kids at the party. Sometimes it's hard to find someone like that because your pretty much hiring a complete stranger. I totally recommend Jon to anyone and i know my guest and myself will be using him again for future parties. Thanks again Jon!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing varies depending on the type of event and or caricature project so the more information provided to me the better I can gage my rate or time needed to serve your event or create your caricature art.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process for first time clients is: 1. A chat with my client or emailed message regarding the upcoming event or illustration work. I’ll just need the overall information regarding your event or project and I’ll ask questions and make suggestions to make your event or project run as smoothly as possible. 2. And once the project of event is approved by the client I have a deposit to book your event Or for caricature illustration projects I’ll also create a rough drawing so that we’re both on the same page regarding your drawing or illustration. And once your project is complete the final balance will be due. 3. Finally prior to your event I’ll contact you to double check that we’re both in sync as far as my set up, start time and and additional specifics that we’re discussed in the initial booking process. And for Caricature illustration projects this will be the final delivery for the completed artwork and if there are any minor adjustments they can be made at this point. 4. Your event day is here and the drawings and memories are created. The remaining balance will be due for events or caricature projects. And for Caricature illustrations you will receive a drawing(s) that you can frame or gift to your friends and family. Thank you!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BFA in Fine Art and Illustration. And I’ve worked with clients for ABC, NBC Universal, AT&T and my work has been seen on Hulu’s “The Mindy Project “ , ABC’s “Shark Tank “, and Taylor Swift’s AT&T Now Commercial airing on the web and TV . I work on all types of projects as well as Non-Profit Charities so please let me know if you have a project or an event that you need help with. Thank you!
