Once you see Neal in action, you' ll understand why there is no better draw (no pun intended) for a marketing event or organization function.

Portrait Cartoons
Portrait Cartoons capture the realistic faces combined with the caricature body positions. Unlike quick sketch caricatures, these are artistic renderings that are true to life likenesses.

Working from reference photography, Portnoy creates "The Portrait Cartoon". Unlike quick sketch caricatures, portrait cartoons capture the portrait realism combined with the caricature body position, making the finished product uniquely a "Portnoy"

Private Events
Wedding? Bar Mitzvah? Bat Mitzvah? Anniversary Party? Wedding Shower? Baby Shower? **th birthday party? You name it-Neal's presence will make it even more memorable. Unlike any other form of entertainment, a quick sketch caricature gives the crowd a chance to connect with each other-the caricatures create a launching point for conversation and introductions. The final products give the guest(s) of honor a personalized gift, and the audience as a whole gets to see Neal in action-and benefit from his skills as they walk home, caricatures in hand. Tailored for your event's needs, Neal's show makes good events great.

Corporate Events
Event Planners: Struggling to find something different for your next event? Tired of the same old boring entertainment? Neal's caricature show can take a standard conference, party, or meeting and make it fun, interesting-and give your attendees something to talk about well past the event. Corporate clients like Citizens Bank, Iron Mountain Incorporated, Allmerica Financial, Top Flite/Spaulding Worldwide, ESPN and Reebok know that Neal is the entertainer for their events.

By offering caricatures, interacting with the crowd, and working as an improv artist, Neal will give your guests quality artwork, craftsmanship-and a jocular time in the "hot spot" as he observes them and captures their essence on paper. For employee recognition and achievement awards, as well as retirements, have Neal make a special portrait from a photograph-it's a change from the gold watch, binoculars, or silver pen, and it will be a lasting reminder that is cherished by the recipient. Neal can also utilize the portrait cartoon as a **" x **" sign-in board, allowing well-wishers to sign the caricature, creating an item the recipient will display forever. Set your event apart from the others by hiring Neal for your next event.

Trade Shows
How do you get people to stay at your booth long enough to really sell your product, or to get a hot lead? As hundreds of potential customers walk by your stand, do you struggle to engage them? Having Neal at your booth can draw a crowd-pun intended! Imagine an artistic entertainer next to you, with a line of attendees waiting for their turn for a caricature. You can chat them up, talk about your products, hand out samples or brochures-and get potential sales, leads, and more. Neal will preprint your corporate identity on each piece of paper, so that every time someone looks at the unique caricatures he creates, your branding is right there, forever. Face time is crucial when you're fighting for product or service exposure-put your booth at the center of it all by bringing Neal on board.
