I am the promoter and office manager for Jess Perna Studio whose

Caricatures.com, Birthday-Caricatures.com and
PortraitsbyJessPerna.com.
Jess draws party art caricatures in Southern California and has
drawn over 30,000 party caricatures. He also creates finely crafted,
funny, custom made caricatures used for advertising art, gifts,
invitations, stationery and sign-in boards. The custom art is ordered
online and by phone. The art is drawn from photos and then
shipped nationwide or by email as digital images. We give excellent
customer service, attention to detail, innovative, beautiful, realistic
caricatures which do not insult but actually make people look their
best. Jess always captures the personality of the subject. Working
with an artist who is not only very talented and creative but has a
great sense of humor is a delight.
When you are hiring a caricaturist for an event you can be confident
that if all the questions and concerns below are satisfied you are in
good, professional hands.
Please remember that asking for phone references for an
entertainer will be an invasion of privacy of their previous clients.
Artists are asked many times a day for such references.
I don’t think most people would want to receive hundreds of phone
calls a year from the potential customers of someone they hired for
a one day event. Would you want this burden after hiring an
entertainer? Most artists do have letters of recommendation or
testimonials on their websites that protect the identity of those who
were kind enough to have written a thank you.
