What about him?
Entertaining with Caricatures as far back as 1991 A.D.
Step into the enchanting world of Angel Contreras, the award-winning caricature artist who has been entertaining crowds for what feels like ages! With a collection of accolades, including the prestigious Best Likeness Award at the International Society of Caricature Artist (ISCA) conventions and the quirky “Fastest Whistling While Having a Mouthful of Crackers” Award in 1979, Angel’s exceptional talent is packed into a tiny frame.
Having honed his skills at the Art Institute of Chicago (though they’d fervently deny it) and graduating from Ray Vogue College of Design (now defunct because of it), Angel’s caricature training comes from the School of Hard Knocks. With over 30 years of experience and having crafted more than 150,000 caricatures, one would expect nothing short of greatness from him!
Angel’s frenetic humor and artistic eccentricity are the highlights of a wide array of events. From college gatherings to retirement celebrations, anniversaries to Mitzvahs, and trade shows to many more, he adds that extra spark of laughter and creativity to any occasion.
In his captivating act, Angel showcases both classic traditional caricatures (paper and marker) and high-tech Digital caricatures (Digital pad stylus). He can skillfully create cutting silhouettes, draw on coasters, and even customize tee-shirts. The options are limitless!
