We had Ron come and do caricatures at a reunion we held last fall. Prompt, professional and great to deal with. Great value for money, he drew the entire time he was with us and everyone was thrilled with their pics.

Ron’s Caricatures has been part of Festiville Baddeck for the last few years, and has consistently been one of our most successful vendors. He is a perfect fit for us, and a welcome addition to any gathering, large or small!”

It was a pleasure having you at two Safe Grad functions and the kids absolutely love your creations. Thanks again.

Ron was so amazing with the kids! Even though Ron was done and trying to pack up, I watched him three times unpack everything because another student had sat in the chair. The pictures were incredible, the kids loved them.

Not only is Ron a talented caricature artist, he is very personable with a great sense of humour, making all of his customers feel comfortable when being drawn or when sharing key details you want captured.

We hired Ron for our son’s birthday party and it was a hit. The kids loved interacting with him, watching him draw one another, and everyone left with a caricature. Our son is already asking for him to come back next year!

Emma & Cal
We commissioned three of Ron's caricatures! I sent my rough ideas to him and he came back with the most personal, exquisite and timeless pieces. They capture every essence of the person perfectly, and are loved by everyone who receives them. Big love from the UK!

Wendy
Ron has a remarkable ability to capture the essence of his subjects' facial characteristics and transform them into hilarious and spot-on caricatures. His attention to detail and his ability to bring out the unique features of each person is what sets Ron apart from other artists.  His dedication to customer satisfaction is commendable, and it's clear that he takes immense pride in his work.

Anna
Ron – I just got my caricature drawing.  It is fabulous!  And once I got up off the floor from laughing so hard, I showed it to all the girls in the office.  And let me tell you, they’re definitely jealous! Thank you. You’ve made my day! Let’s be honest, my week!  Maybe month!

Sarah & Matt
We had Ron create two caricatures for our wedding day - one as part of a custom label for our favors’ (bottles of cider) and another as our guestbook where we had family & friends sign the matting which we later framed for our wall. We can't thank Ron enough for making our day extra special. We will cherish the caricatures from our wedding day forever!

Erin
Ron's Caricatures are my go-to gift. He makes the process so easy and they come out perfect every time. Simply provide Ron with a couple of photos and a brief description and he works his magic. Your family & friends will be talking (and laughing) about these caricatures for years and years!

About Me

I began drawing political cartoons for a popular newspaper in the early 1990s. A few years later, my wife and I visited Disney Village, where a caricature artist drew a picture of us — and I was instantly hooked! Since then, I've spent years practicing, drawing thousands of people from photos and at live events. Now, I'm excited to offer my caricature services to you!


FAQ
