“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 had the pleasure of sitting for one of John Casey’s boys. Awesome job! It was a lot of fun!

I was trying to look at what he was doing and he caught me. So his first impression was that- hence my one eye looking to the left where the tv screen was of my caricature. Beware of the artist’s first impression as you sit down. That’s what he will draw :)

They take at least 10 minutes for each person. They can draw you together or separately. They will print your picture and you can take a copy with you when you go home. For a very nominal fee like less than $5 you can go to their website and buy an electronic version of your caricature that you can download.

Beware it is the longest line in any event. But it’s the most fun! Each artist has his own style. One will sketch you in a regular way and one will do a pretty big close up. I prefer the regular look myself.”

“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 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!”
