Caricature Artists Los Angeles

Live digital and classic caricature artists creating custom keepsakes for events across Los Angeles.

All About Our Caricatures

The Balloon Guy provides professional caricature artists for birthday parties, weddings, corporate events, and brand activations across Los Angeles and Southern California. Guests get a personalized, humorous keepsake and a genuine live-entertainment moment as their portrait comes together in front of them. We offer both classic hand-drawn caricatures and digital caricatures drawn live on an iPad and displayed on a monitor, so guests can watch the artwork develop in real time and download their portrait after the event.

Our caricature artists are part of the same team behind entertainment and balloon installations for events across Los Angeles. A professional artist typically draws 10 to 12 faces per hour, whether working in classic pen-and-paper style or digital format, and we bring the same execution standard to a small private party as we do to a corporate activation.
