Dear Grant,I personally wanted to thank you for coming out to the wrap party and drawing for so many of us for such a long time. Everyone was thrilled to get their drawings and I know there was a line for awhile so it was indeed a big hit. You are incredibly talented and it was a pleasure to do business with you. I hope you were able to have a good time yourself.Would love to do this again sometime in the future. Until then, take good care.Best,Mindy Weissman

Grant,
Everyone loved the caricature. Rex couldn't believe it. Once we gave it to him, he just kept looking at it and talked about it the rest of the night.
Thanks for making the evening so special and for being such a good sport about all of our details.
Happy Holidays!

Dear Grant,
I just wanted to thank you again for coming out yesterday. The kids loved their drawings and so did the parents. I kept hearing comments like, “I can’t believe how much that looks like him/her, or how cute”. One Grandma went out and bought a frame and is giving it as a gift to another grandma. Thanks again you did a great job.

It's great! You are fantastic!I can't thank you enough ... it really is superb. I can't wait for everyone to see it -- they will be blown away.Nice working with you, Grant. I am very grateful for the good price, too, and for your patience and SPEED -- my goodness, what a bargain!I belong to a sort of underground internet-based group that shares information about highly recommended services, products, people and places. To be put on their list is really to have a strong "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval." I am going to rave about you to the list, and about the idea of caricatures as a great gift -- especially for and about people you work with. I'm sure it will eventually result in more clients for you. Plus I can't wait to give you another job myself.Anyway, thank you very very much!All the best,Suzanne
