Don was a GREAT hit at my husband's 70 birthday party! Everyone loved the pictures he did and saw many guests going from to table to table to see others he had done! Don was great at talking to the guests while sitting for the drawings, capturing the best theme to draw for them. He was flexible and responsive. I definitely would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun addition to their event! More...

I couldn't have been happier with Don's abilities, professionalism and talent! I work for a non-profit and we wanted to include something special for the attendees of our annual cookout. The smiles on the faces of every single person that sat with Don, as they were sitting and then when they finally saw their art piece, were priceless. Don has a great personality that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed while sitting for him. He was a huge hit!! Thanks so much, Don. We look forward to having you back! More...

He is a good cartoonist, but I call in August, October, November, and December, along with a email once month. When we finally called me back he gave me one day to get back. When I called the next day to book him for a wedding said I am booked. This was so disappointing. Communication and responsiveness are not his strong points. More...

Don was truly awesome. I booked him for my Mother’s 75th birthday celebration and he was a hit! He worked fast, made everyone look funny (but also cute), and was a pleasure to work with. He even suggested special paper with my Mom’s birthday theme on it. Most of all, he was nice to our guests and patient with me. He’s a true professional with a gift that your guests will love! Highly recommend! More...

When I first contacted Don I wasn’t sure what to expect out of a caricature for a wedding but after seeing his work I knew it was something that had to be there. Reaching out and booking him was super easy, and he was very reasonably priced. I couldn’t wait for my wedding day and to get one done. Wedding day came 8-13-22 and when we arrived for our reception people had already gotten there’s done and were beaming and showing them off. We had about 90 people there and he got through everyone who wanted one. He was quick but at the same time took the time to really pay attention to details and they actually looked like us! He made small talk and was super funny, all my guests absolutely loved him and I will definitely be booking him again when we have another event. Thank you so much for adding that special touch to our wedding! We appreciate it very much More...

Don drew caricatures for the Humane Society for Greater Nashua Walk for Whiskers. He easily handled both people and dogs. He was quick and able to capture everyone in a fun way . The teenagers especially loved it, something different for them. Highly recommend for any event. More...

We hired Don on a whim thinking about how we could make our wedding more special. I am so glad that we did! He is so responsive, so kind and a great addition to any party. Every single one of our guests sat with Don to get a caricature to bring home. I would hire him 10 times over! Thanks Don! More...

We booked Don for our back yard wedding and he was the biggest hit! Don was so accommodating, we had to move our wedding out a day for expected hurricane and he was able to work around another party to make it work! We were over the moon, highly highly suggest Don! Also we ended up adding more time at the last min, and it was soooooo worth it! Don practiced all safety measures for covid 19 which made our guest feel extremely safe! Cannot thank Don enough for everything! Seriously can’t wait to throw another party and have Don there :) More...

What do you love most about your job?
Meeting new people, entertaining them and their reaction when I present them with their caricature.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Because I did graphics and cartoon illustrations for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, I was asked to draw caricatures for colleagues who left the newspaper when they retired or from the many staff reductions. Later, when a friend asked me to do caricatures for a travel and tourism event, I realized the popularity of live caricatures. I started PARTOONS: Caricatures by Don Landgren Jr. drawing caricatures for children's birthday parties and other private events in 1998.
Why should our clients choose you?
I set up my easel so your guests can watch as the caricatures are drawn — adding more entertainment as your everyone laughs and get a keepsake from your special day. Plus unlike some caricaturists, I interact with your guests — chatting, joking and getting to know them as I draw their caricature making the experience more personal and enjoyable.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I can draw for your event via Zoom or Google Meet.
Live Party Caricatures

Sign-in boards
Sign-in boards are an alternative to guest books that you can later hang on your wall. They are a great idea for weddings, graduations, B'Mitzvahs, birthday parties and retirement parties or any event where your guests can write a memorable message, words of wisdom or just sign their name.
These are a more finished style combining a digital caricature, title and date/location on a 20” x 30" board. The digital caricature is drawn on an iPad.
