Mr. McGee of Caricatures by McGee did a great job at my birthday party event. I had met him 14 years prior at a Bar Mitzvah when he was doing caricatures and he was fabulous. I kept his card and found him on The Bash website. So glad he was available for my party. Everyone loved their prints and he does a great job of interacting with people to produce the best caricatures.

Mr McGee was very pleasant and professional. I was very pleased with the caricatures and so were my guests. I would definitely hire Mr McGee if needed for future events.

Mr. McGee was very professional and such a hit at our party! Everyone enjoyed the conversation had with him. Thank you Mr. McGee for creating a memorable experience for us and our guests.

Ms. Quintas created a great children's birthday party event. A wonderful and welcoming family vibe was constant. Needless to say everyone was friendly and fun to draw. One of the best events I've had the pleasure to apply my meager talents to.

100% Recommend. Barton is not only an excellent artist, but a great human to work with!

I am humbled by all the high scores but they are just as applicable to Nathan and all of his fellow employees at Jelly Vision. One of the best corporate gigs I've had the pleasure to draw at. A truly wonderful company with wonderful people.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 16, 2023•From Chicago, IL

Barton did caricatures at our wedding 10 years ago and we had the excellent idea of re-inviting him to my husband’s birthday party. He was a total hit! Originally hired for two hours, Barton had such a fan club and queue that he ended up staying until the party ended. His personal and empathetic approach allows Barton to truly capture the essence, the character, the quirks of the sitter - and the results are brilliant! What a talent! Book him, you won’t regret it.

A very belated but greatly appreciated thank you. I get return clients but only once before have a gotten one from ten years ago. Most of my events can be quite raucous but yours sets the record for being the most relaxing and enjoyable thanks to your many wonderful friends. With luck I'll see you in another decade if not sooner.

Barton is the consummate professional. This is the 2nd time we've hired him to do caricatures for a company corporate event. He's a fantastic artist and builds rapport with all of his subjects. His caricatures are fun and whimsical. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Ms. Molitas. Glad to be of service.

He did happen to arrive late but was willing to stay and do a few extra people. His personality was genuine and the overall idea was a hit!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 18, 2019•From Glenview, IL

Had a GREAT experience booking Barton McGee for my daughter's HS graduation party. He did an amazing job drawing caricatures for guest after guest, pretty much non-stop from the time he got there. I had booked him for 2 hours, but he stayed longer to accommodate everyone. The caricatures were fantastic and he was great with our friends and family in capturing their personalities. I'd definitely recommend him and will hire him again... Super happy with how it went and Caricatures by McGee was definitely a highlight of the party.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 4, 2017•From Milwaukee, WI

It is all about setting proper expectations. Mr. McGee was VERY professional and on time to the event. We had discussed logistics and I had advised the number of guests in attendance which translated to the number of caricatures to be drawn I was under the assumption there was adequate time allocated for my party to draw all guests who signed up. I provided a sign-up sheet and 26 couples signed up. Due to running out of time, we only got halfway thru the list. That was a disappointment for some folks. I did not step in and chat with Mr. McGee during the sittings for fear of being disruptive! Perhaps I should have. Next time I book an artist, I will book two!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 30, 2017•From Naperville, IL

We had Barton set up a caricature station for our wedding in Naperville. He also brought an associate named Adam who both did an incredible job. We wanted to do something a little different for our wedding (instead of the over done photo booth) and all of our guests were raving about the caricatures. Family members were in tears laughing about their pictures. Unfortunately, with everything going on during the wedding we never had time to get our caricature done. We were a little bummed (especially after seeing how funny they were) but then Barton sent a very kind hearted email, letting us know if we sent him pictures he could still do one for us! Great guy!

We booked Barton for my company's corporate holiday party. He arrived in a timely manner, was extremely professional, and off the charts talented! My colleagues absolutely loved their portraits. He captured everyone's personalities and features to a T. He was friendly and great to work with and I would happily hire him again in a heartbeat. I would definitely recommend him to others.
