Jordan Callahan
Questions for the Artist
What is a caricature?
It is a picture of a person or thing that is exaggerated in some way so to grab attention in a comedic way. Essentially, the caricatures that I do are part portrait and part cartoon.
How long have you been doing caricatures?
I've been doing them since 2013. It has been a long journey since that point though, since I started doing events when I was in high school.
How many caricatures can you do in an hour?
For black and white caricatures, I can do 15 to 16 an hour. With color, I can do between 8 and 10.
Jordan's first event, drawing caricatures of all the upperclassmen for his high school's prom. What was he thinking???
Can you do custom/gift caricatures?
Yes, I can. I just need an email with a picture of the person and a theme or description and for what occasion the caricature is for (party, graduation, retirement, etc.). The caricature will later be mailed to you.
What was the best gift you have received for your services?
I was working at a school dance event and one young fellow enjoyed his caricature drawing a lot. Ten minutes later, he somehow came back with a full rotisserie chicken as a thank you!
What types of events do you work at?
I can draw anywhere! I've been to birthday parties, proms, weddings, festivals, Bar mitzvahs, corporate parties, grand openings, reunions, graduations, Christmas parties, and more. Really anything!
