Brandon Tisor – Professional Caricature Artist
With over 25 years of experience as a professional caricature artist, Brandon has built a distinguished career in the art of caricature. His journey began at Kamans Art Shoppes, where he honed his skills while working on the grounds of Knott’s Berry Farm for 5.5 years. During this time, he developed the ability to capture personalities with quick, expressive strokes—an essential skill for live event caricature art. His passion for illustration and design led him to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Design from Cal State University, Fullerton, complementing his hands-on experience with a strong academic foundation. He has taught drawing to kids and adults as well and loves it. Brandon always enjoys taking art classes and reading art books.😊👨🎨
For large events (40 guests or more) Brandon believes from his experience that 3 hours is an excellent amount of time to draw as many guests as possible. He strongly recommends at least 3 hours for larger events. Quality is extremely important to him as an artist, and the more time the better the quality.
His normal drawing rate is $100 per hour plus an additional $25 (25miles Round Trip), $50 (50 miles Round Trip, $75 (75 miles Round Trip) and $100 (100 miles Round Trip). FOR EXAMPLE, If a client's event is 75 miles away from me, the travel rate would be $75 total. These amounts cover materials and equipment as well. All caricatures are put into plastic protectors when he finishes a drawing. Brandon will stay an additional half hour extra (No Charge) as a way of saying Thank You for your understanding about the travel and materials fee. He has always had this business policy. Lastly, he has references available upon request.
Beyond his formal education, Brandon has continually refined his craft through specialized caricature and art classes, expanding his expertise in various artistic disciplines. Over the years, he has worked with an impressive roster of corporate clients, including Netflix, Fox TV, Chick-fil-A, Amwins Insurance, Health-Ade, Vitas Health Care, Noble House Furniture, Reagan Gold Group, Secure One Financial, Port Theater, Pure Project, Cal State University San Bernardino Coyote Festival, Grand Del Mar Equestrian Center, Agua Caliente Casino, Del Mar Country Club, Pet Evolution, Ss Hert Trucking, Long Beach Marriott, Ring, Pet Supply Warehouse, Newport Marriott, AMN Healthcare, Commercial Facilities Inc., among many others. His ability to entertain and create unique keepsakes has made him a sought-after artist for weddings, graduations, proms, birthday parties, baby showers, festivals, and holiday events.
While live caricature art is his specialty, Brandon is also proficient in caricature illustration, figurative sculpture, digital art, and traditional illustration. His sculptural work has even earned a place in Lagunaart Gallery in the Mission Viejo Mall, showcasing his ability to bring characters to life beyond the two-dimensional canvas. His versatility as an artist allows him to explore different mediums while maintaining his signature expressive style.
