Peter S is one of our Caricature Artists in Alexandria:
Peter is perhaps the best-loved artist in the Washington, D.C. area. A favorite among clients and fellow artists, his unflappable good cheer is infectious! His cartooning skills are unique, a combination of training at the Corcoran School of Art combined with the best qualities of the artists he's worked with over the years, with more than a dash of personal whimsy thrown in!
The only child of theatrical parents, he grew up in the California of the Sixties, befriending a lot of celebrity children, and seeing a lot of America in travels with his parents.
While honing his artistic skills, he also developed a deep desire to 'make a difference', resulting in a hitch in the Peace Corps, a continuing study of religions and philosophy, and a regimen of diet and exercise that should help him live to 200! The charm of his drawings, his unmatched graphics skills, and his optimism make him a great choice for any party!

Great Addition!
Thank you so much for working with us on our club fair event, especially with such a quick turnaround. Our students enjoyed the artists and their work and they were a great addition to our event. We are always glad to have them and the artists you sent were so pleasant to work with.

Fantastic!
Your artists were fantastic! We were very happy with all of them. They were all there onsite in plenty of time and ready to go – I know they had long drives too, so I appreciate them coming out to Middleburg. I think they were all really personable and talented. I’d be happy to personally recommend them to anyone.

Wonderful, Professional, and Fun!
Peter was wonderful! We always have a great time with the artists that About Faces hires. They are professional and make it a lot of fun. The experience booking with About Faces is always fast and efficient, and we are very happy. We look forward to using About Faces again!

Huge Success!
Our annual goblins parade was a huge success, and Peter was a big part of that success. Peter is absolutely fantastic, and we've been very happy with the entertainers from About Faces. We would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Everyone enjoyed it!
Everything went fine! The kids all enjoyed it, and we had a steady, consistent line of them waiting to have their caricatures done.

Bit Hit!
I have to say Peter was a BIG hit of the wedding, everyone was so impressed with his talents. Peter took his time to listen to the guests and drew exactly what they requested. Peter was totally professional, friendly and overall GREAT!!! I'll be sure to spread the word about Peter and hopefully have him booked for future events :-)

A Great Addition!
The caricature artists were a great addition to our event and were very popular! They had very different styles which was nice so that there was variety in the finished products. They were very nice and worked very fast so that everyone that wanted a caricature was able to get one.

Everything was all good!
Please thank Peter for coming and being a part of our wedding! It flew by so fast, but every time I looked back there he had a line and I did get some feedback from some guests saying that he was quicker than they thought he would be and he was very nice, so I really appreciate that. He was a great addition to our wedding by all accounts and was unique in that guests had never seen a caricature artist at wedding. I'm sorry I can't provide more feedback from my experience, but from what I hear everything was all good! I will definitely refer people to you guys who are interested in having a caricaturist at their wedding.

Very happy!
The artists were wonderful. Thank you very much. Both my client and myself were very happy with the service provided by your artists and your firm. I will definitely use you guys again in the future. The balance check went out in the mail yesterday.

Fabulous!
It was fabulous – your artists stayed an extra hour (did you charge us that?) and were patient and talented. Our children waiting in lines over an hour long for this!

Great, as always!
Everything was great, as always. Our tenants truly look forward to this event during the holidays each year.
