About this vendor
I offer three main services for LIVE events.
1. TRADITIONAL CARICATURES- The Cartoon You Classic.
Technology changes, but a Classic Caricature never goes out of style. It's unplugged. It’s pen and paper, it's old world magic. Nothing beats the simplicity of a clean black line on a crisp white sheet of paper. Quite simply, an artist with an easel projects a folksy charm that modern technology cannot create. When you want the focus to be YOU, and not the technology, then the Classic is for you. Sometimes you need a Classic. We live in a warp speed culture. Let's slow life down a bit and enjoy the moment.
A Classic artist can draw 20 black and white caricatures per hour or if you prefer color, 10 color caricatures per hour. Each drawing is an 11x14" original and comes with a transparent bag with handle.
2. DIGITAL CARICATURE- Caricatures from the future!
Impress with high tech. Want something different than the traditional marker and paper caricatures? Go digital! Hire one or more Digital Caricature Artists to electrify the crowds with the power of the pixel! Artists draw on pressure sensitive digital drawing tablets and guests watch the art projected on 32” LCD screens. Guests leave with their own full color caricature printed on the spot on 4x6” paper. This option is great for big crowds and big rooms, especially when clients want a sleek and modern entertainment style for their corporate events. Company logos can be printed on the paper along with a custom border. At the end you receive digital copies of all the caricatures. Guests get a print in a plastic sleeve they can hang on their lanyards, and a download of their image.
Expect 20 guests drawn per hour in bw or 10 guests per hour in color.
3. COASTER CARICATURES- Make Happy Hour even happier!
Surprise guests with their caricature drawn on a blank coaster! The artist can stroll or draw on an easel, and guests will love their happy hour souvenir. Expect 20 faces drawn per color or 30 in bw PER hour.
And a FOURTH idea!
4. GIFT CARICATURES FROM PHOTOS:
We can draw individual or group caricatures from photos. Groups are great for family reunions, sports teams, companies, schools, etc. Drawings can be themed, and can include detailed backgrounds and text. Surprise someone with a gift they will always remember.

Loved working with Rafael! He was on time and responsive, and our guests loved the caricatures! We have heard from so many people that they loved that we had him there. Would highly recommend!
Rafael was absolutely awesome. He was fun, engaging, and our guests absolutely loved him. In fact, he was such a big hit that I even had some of my other vendors asking about his services for their own use. He was able to accommodate additional requests after the wedding (as we ran out of time) and had all portraits posted promptly. I would definitely hire him again.
We hired Rafael for our daughters wedding. He was a huge hit, always had a line and did a fabulous job. As the mother of the bride, I didn’t have a chance to get over to see him but we had a lot of happy guest. I would definitely hire him again! Thank you Rafael.
I had Rafael scheduled for our cocktail hour to help entertain guests while we were busy with the photographers. Since we were busy with the photographer, I did not actually get a chance to meet Rafael, However all of my guest told me he wad amazing. They loved his personality, the excitement he brought, and his talent. I was very pleased to see how happy everyone was with him and would definitely recommend him for any event.
He hired Rafael for our wedding and OMG was he a crowd favorite!! I am so happy that we decided to have him as all the guests loved getting one done! Rafael was extremely professional and happy to be there and his work is AMAZING!!! I would highly recommend anyone thinking of doing such to do so! Rafael thank you so much for everything, we hope to have you again in the future for other events!!!

This was an amazing touch to our wedding. We decided to hire Rafael instead of a photo booth and I’m SO glad we did! He was awesome, all of our guests managed to get one done and everyone complimented us on his work and having this at our wedding. Rafael was so professional and a very talented artist. His drawings were so fast and I’m so glad we had him at our wedding. Thank you!
Rafael was amazing! Easy booking process, and even better end result! My guests were lined up to get their caricatures drawn. A little special touch by adding his services made a huge impact on my guests’ satisfaction for the evening—I would recommend him to anyone!!
Rafael was awesome! He was able to draw so fast and when we went around to each table, everyone was showing us their awesome caricatures! It was so wonderful and many of our guests said it was such a fun thing to have at our wedding! Thank you Rafael!!
We are a UK couple who had a very small (15 people) destination wedding in Orlando. I was worried that because it was so small, it would just seem like a dinner party, as we weren't going to have a DJ and dancing. After weeks of searching for ideas and vendors, I came across the idea of a having a caricaturist (way more personalised than the photo booths that are so popular right now!). I spent a long time looking through caricaturist profiles, and the one that stood out head and shoulders above all others was Rafael. His work really is outstanding. He was able to draw all of my guests in colour in no time at all! And the likeness in all the pictures is unbelievable!!! My husband and I, along with our guests, absolutely loved the pictures he drew of us! I have ours framed and on display in our living room! He was so much fun to work with - he chatted to all our guests as he was drawing them, and had everyone laughing the whole way through reception. I really hope to get the opportunity to work with him again in the future, and highly recommend you have him at your wedding - your guests will love it!!!
He almost stole the show! We wanted something different for our wedding so we decided on caricature artist Rafael Diaz... and wow are we glad that we did!
Our guests absolutely loved him and it was so, so much better than a photo booth. Now that I'm home I am seeing many of my friends and family posting and sharing their caricatures on their Facebook pages. I suppose that means they really did like them!
Not only that, but everyone was talking about how nice Rafael was and that he was so nice and chatted with them while he did their caricatures. I talked to him briefly a few times and he had such a nice, upbeat, and positive personality. A perfect fit for the perfect evening.
Rafael Diaz was just a fantastic part of our wedding. Aside from all the compliments he earned us, it also gave our guests something to take home and remember that special night!
Thank you sincerely Rafael Diaz.
