“I had the pleasure of meeting Jon at a YEE not to long ago! Needless to say my friend really wanted one and wanted me to do it as well. It has been probably pretty close to about 20 years since the last time I had one done of me. The reason for my reservations with caricature art is that back then, I was at my friend’s 9th birthday party and the artist did mine. I was haunted by the results I got back then and swore of caricature art from that point on. (Pretty much it looked like a person with a big head, tiny body, giant afro hair and tiny eyes.) Needless to say the kids at the party teased my picture and I was forever scarred.

Anywho flash forward to recent years, at the yelp event we stood in line and by the end of the night he got to us. He was extremely friendly and made me feel pretty comfortable, Im not used to posing for a portrait. He was very high tech, in then sense he was using a stylus on a digital pad and running it through is MAC and he work was being displayed on a LCD monitor and printed out a small copy for you when he was done! He worked hard and straight through the entire event, and even stayed about a half hour later! Definitely a really cool guy, and maybe if I can bring him in for a Office holiday party. To bad I can’t get two of him!”

“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.
;D”

“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.

“I do not think I have ever met an artist/business person that has maintained the level of quality and professionalism as Jon Casey. I have worked with Jon at 2 separate events and was immediately impressed by his speed and overall product quality. Jon also continues to research the newest trends in technology in an effort to make his product the best in the country.

Do NOT hesitate to book this guy! He will draw in any environment. I even heard that he once drew at a Little Person Burlesque Convention in Cincy and tore the roof down w/his amazing work! He’s so rad.!”
