“A picture is worth a million words…

My company threw a xmas party over at the art museum in SJ. It was a nice party with drinks, photo booth, food and dj etc etc etc. As one would expect of having a party in a museum all the exhibits were open for our enjoyment though we were not allowed to drink or eat outside the designated areas for specific reasons.. namely me.

As luck would have it, on the third floor there was this gentleman sitting on his chair in front of an easel like contraption with people lined up to sit in front of him. Turned out that the guy.. Jon Casey was doing caricatures of all who were inclined to wait for his imaginative eye and steady hand. My escort, butterfly wing equipped suggested that we wait for Jon’s expertise. And I’m glad that we did and more importantly considering we were at the end of a relatively long line which were also fast approaching his scheduled time.

Lady luck would shine on us some more since the company saw it fit to extend his hours for our benefit. And since he got paid more it was a win-win situation all the way around. And in the end my lady for the evening and I walked away with flattering renditions of ourselves. While I was helping him pack up the big screen that he used to demo his skill he turned out to be not only a great artist but a great artist with a warm personality to boot.

When you see him be sure to have him look you up and down and let him run wild with it.

“I’m impressed. In 3-5 minutes, Casey drew me and my girlfriend while we were at a friend’s wedding. He made us all look really cute, and some of us looked even better in caricature than in real life! That’s boss material right there.”

“I think the next time I have a party (and the budget allows) Jon Casey would be the added entertainment that EVERYONE would enjoy. I saw him lay down the law at the SFMOMA party. People were crowded around him catching glimpses of his caricatures and really enjoying him work his magic. Not only is he fast and fun to watch, but he does a really good job.”- Natalie N.
