Anniversary Party•Reviewed on December 7, 2015•From San Gabriel, CA
Kerry's caricatures are flattering to the subject and most importantly he engages each one in conversation in order to gain insights into their background and personality. He was applauded by our party guests upon departure--an index of how much he was enjoyed and appreciated. He arrived early and was willing to stay a bit later than booked in order to complete some guests' caricatures. My sense was that the completed caricature was only half of the experience; people really enjoyed talking with him and posing for him.

Sweet 16 Party•Reviewed on December 16, 2015•From Moorpark, CA
BOOK KERRY!!!! My daughter's sweet 16 party was nearly 4 years ago and the kids are STILL talking about it. The party consisted of what I called "The Breakfast Club!" Jocks, nerds, popular kids, less popular kids, cheerleaders, band kids, book-worms, etc, etc....ALL of this kids thought Kerry was amazing and he appealed to all the different personalities of the large group (75+) of 16 year old kids! He was fantastic and he even agreed to stay much longer than anticipated. We quickly negotiated a price and he stayed until everyone had a chance to get drawn. Kerry is amazing and I promise you will not regret booking him....I will book his talent again!!

There aren't enough words to describe how awesome Kerry is! My daughters 6th birthday party was a total unique experience for all who attended. Even the adults were thrilled about him being there! I had more guest show up than expected and he accommodated them all,and the drawings were spot on. Kerry has a very warm and gentle spirit, I will most definitely book him again!

Kerry was a professional who not only provided great artwork for my entire family, but also took time to genuinely learn about each of his subjects. His personable demeanor and enthusiasm for life are a great addition to any event. Kerry arrived early and stayed late to ensure everyone at the party had his gift of artwork to take home. Highly recommended!

Kerry went above and beyond to coordinate all aspects of his services prior to my wedding day. He also happily added an extra hour because the guests were having so much fun with him. He is extremely friendly and talented. Definitely a highlight at my wedding reception. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable, talented and very sociable artist.

Kerry was exceptional! Our party was for a group of 9 and 10 year-old girls. He engaged every one in entertaining conversation while he was doing their caricature. The caricatures were really good...emphasizing the positive for each girl to provide something beautiful. Kerry became the focal point of all the girls' attention for longer than we could have imagined.
I would not hesitate to recommend Kerry based on our experience!

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.

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!

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!

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.
