On arrival he was smartly dressed and punctual. My guests were entertained with his good sense of humour, everyone enjoyed having a cartoon drawing of themselves to take home. His performance certainly rated 5 stars - not only from myself but all of my guests. Thanks, he made my Birthday Party a huge success, with Very Happy Memories.

Absolutely delighted with the drawing. I sent him some photos and a bit of a description of roughly what I wanted. He was able to use the photos to perfectly capture the characters the of me and my partner and place it in the kind background environment I had imagined.
