Description
One of the nation's top caricature artists!
Part Comedian, Part Magician, Full Time Caricaturist!
I am an entertainer who happens to be able to draw!
My brand of entertainment blends artistic skill and a keen comedic wit to produce not just a caricature, but an experience that people remember. As I entertain my subject and chat with onlookers, an image appears on paper, one that captures the person's likeness and personality while impishly adding a twist of humor to create a unique caricature.
"His artistic skills, together with his entertaining verbal commentary, have the pros and their families standing in line year after year. Neal artistic skills are remarkable…!"Ted Mingola Pleasant Valley Country Club Chairman CVS PGA Classic
"Sensational! I've never seen anything quite like it…It's just what we were looking for."Mick Shannon President Children's Miracle Network
"I was amazed at the diversity of your talents!" John M. Barr Director of Corporate Sponsorships and Events Eastman Kodak Company
There are hundreds of caricature artists throughout the country, and all caricaturists are NOT created equal! None can give your guests the full package that I provide. Like an improvisational comedian, I absorb what I see and hear, interacting with the crowd, and focusing on the moment while creating true-to-life, instant full color caricatures-all while making people laugh. With over 35 years of performing "My show", I have provided my clients with good clean fun, and something their guests remember forever!

Feedback
- Neal Portnoy is a very talented artist and he's amazingly personable as well. I book corporate events at my showroom and I'm always looking for ways to keep the events fresh and new. Neal had a crowd around him for the duration of his two hour gig, and was very accommodating as I had special requirements for his drawings from a branding perspective. I hope to work with him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to hire a caricature artist for a private party or corporate function. -- Mary D, Boston, MA, 9/21/2011
- Neal was great to work with, easy to get in touch with, etc. I guess I was expecting a bit more when he had said he would be a "more than just a caricaturist" type of entertainer.. this was actually just limited to his drawing, I thought maybe there would be more interaction within the guests - but that may have been my own misunderstanding. As far as talent as a caricaturist, he was great! -- Karla E, Boston, MA, 12/8/2011
