Kerry Manwaring

Do you enjoy laughing, having fun, and ever wondered what you would look like as a cartoon? Kerry is the artist for you and your party! Traditional caricature typically exaggerates the most prominent facial features. While this can be a riot for those watching, it can be less fun for those in the "hot seat". Kerry typically uses a complimentary style for live events so everyone goes home happy; not self conscious. But given license, he can stretch you out as well.

Kerry graduated from art school, is a published illustrator, and learned the caricature trade working at Knott's Berry Farm and Universal Studios for ten years. He cares about quality, professionalism, and of course, service with a smile! Make sure your party is the one everyone remembers. Take home your memorable day with a KERRYcature!

• Kerry is amazing. He is a people person, has great talent and a very sweet guy that can blend in, put it this way, everyone thought he was a personal friend of ours. He was even early to our event. When the hours were up he offerd to finish drawing the last group, we were not expecting that. When he draws a person or group he talks with and listens to them to add any personal touches to that drawings he can. He drew everyone spot on. And i truely can't wait to invite his talented self to another event of ours. -- Tera G, Glendora, CA, 12/31/2011

• Kerry was fantastic! We communicated via email and he made everything easy, one less thing to worry about for a party. Arrived on time, started right away with the birthday boy and worked right through the party without any breaks. He was great with all the kids and all the parents raved on and on! My son, who turned 5, still smirks and smiles from ear to ear when we talk about the caricature drawings during the party - such a big hit! Thanks Kerry...Awesome work! -- Mary K, Temple City, CA, 11/20/2010

• Kerry was a big hit at our party, definitely a very talented artist with the ability to make you feel comfortable during your time sitting for him. He stayed a little extra until everyone that wanted to be drawn was finished. I definitely recommend Kerry for your party! Thank You Kerry for making a special event even more special! -- John D, Long Beach, CA, 5/8/2010
• Mr. Manwearing was an incredible addition to our party. He was absolutely a hit with all our guests. He was extremely friendly, outgoing and easy to get along with. The caricatures he drew where very accurate and fun. I believe that he had a line the entire evening for guests to be drawn because no one wanted to be left out once they had seen his work. He was even willing to stay late for us so all our guests could be drawn. If you want to best, he your man. -- Matthew S, Yucaipa, CA, 3/27/2010
• We hired Kerry to draw at our twins’ first birthday party and we were glad we did! Kerry was very accommodating in terms of time since we had to ask him to stay an additional 2 hours since there was a continuous line. Our guests were very pleased with his drawings Kerry was very personable and made the drawings very flattering. In addition to him drawing at the party, I asked him to draw something special of the twins for their invitation. I absolutely loved it and I think all my friends and family got a kick out of the twins getting "cartoonized". We would highly recommend Kerry. He's very talented, professional and personable. -- Jennifer D, Pomona, CA, 2/27/2010
• Amazing! Everyone loved his work and he stayed longer to make sure everyone got a drawing done! Highly recommend! Professional, funny, great addition to any party! -- Ilene M, Santa Clarita, CA, 11/12/2010
• Kerry was great. He should be on top of the list in Gig Master! My family and over 30 kids in my triplet's b-day party loved him. He was easy going and very talented. All were very pleased. The pictures he drew reflected the "good" rather than the prominent part of the model's face. That's why we all loved it! Book him for your next occasion! Very professional and on time. Thank you Kerry. -- Anna H, Chino Hills, CA, 11/16/2009
• Kerry recently worked at our Christmas Eve Party. We hired him last-minute. He was extremely friendly and accommodating. The guests really enjoyed his professionalism and also friendliness. His Caricatures were amazing! It was so nice for our guests to take something home from the party. I'd "highly" recommend Kerry for any event! -- Linda S, Los Angeles, CA, 12/24/2011
• Kerry was a big hit at my husband's 65th birthday party. He had a crowd waiting to be drawn, and he did his best to fit everyone in. He did black and white drawings, and they were quite charming. Kerry was friendly, punctual, and got right to work. I was worried he'd have some dead time on his hands. Boy was I wrong. I would recommend Kerry to any of my friends looking for a fun party entertainment. -- Beverly H, Marina del Rey, CA, 3/11/2012
