Review by Lori B.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 24, 2026•From Napa, CA

Great experience. Our group was a bit slow to start lining up, but Pete was patient and did a fantastic job for everyone. As the event planner, the booking of and communication with Pete was easy and clear. And being able to participate myself, it was the first caricature that turned out great and didn't make me want to break out in tears LOL. Would recommend this offering to anyone seeking a fun add-on for an event.

Thanks for the kind words, Lori-! I'm glad I was able to contribute some value to your event, and I'm happy to hear that you liked the caricature! I had a great time.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 31, 2023•From San Francisco, CA

Pete is a great artists, our tenants really enjoyed having their caricatures done and I received positive feedback from everyone with whom he drew. However on the back end it took us awhile to get an updated COI from Pete for our event, and he unfortunately showed up around 20 minutes late due to traffic, and we were unable to get ahold of him during this timeframe to fine out if he was coming or not. When he arrived he came across an unprepared, but quickly warmed up after several drawings. .

Pete is the Michelangelo of caricature artists! At our recent offsite, he went above and beyond to turn each of us into fantastic cartoon characters. With a flick of his pen, he captured our unique personalities and features, leaving us all amazed by his talent. It was like watching an entire cast of characters come to life on paper! Pete's exceptional skills and dedication to his craft made our event unforgettable, and we are all grateful for his amazing work. If you're looking to add some humor and fun to your next event, Pete is your guy!

Thanks RJ—for such a flattering review. I am so pleased that you all enjoyed my work; it was definitely a fun event for me too. -Pete

Fantastic! Pete was pleasant, professional & on-time. Our guests loved his more realistic drawings. He also added guests that didn’t attend by viewing pictures on cellphones.
