Who is Lee Hessling?

 My story began on January 9th, 1998, when Isaih Lee Hessling was born in Dubuque, Iowa. Early in my youth I began winning state art contests, which I built upon in my formative years of schooling in southwest Wisconsin. After graduation, still determined to pursue closer interests, I enrolled at the University of Wisconsin Platteville, learning the skills to formulate my art ambitions into a career as a caricature artist. Beginning in May of 2021, I obtained a tax identification number and came up with the name "Silly Sketch." Within three years, I opened caricature studios in Iowa and Illinois, formulated curriculums as an Artist-In-Residence, and established myself as an international artist in Europe. After completing my bachelor's degree in 2024, I decided to put the business name "Silly Sketch" in my keepsake portfolio and begin using my own name for my presence in the creative industry. I look forward to you being a part of my story, by getting a Caricature at an event, or booking your own!
