Mike V - Caricature Artist - Client Comments and Quotes

"I struggled with what entertainment to have at my mother's surprise 75th birthday party. A friend of mine suggested a caricature artist. Her sister had one at her daughter's birthday oarty and it went over well. Even the adults enjoyed it. So with some trepidation I booked Mike Valentine. He ended up being the hit of the party! There was a line of people waiting to have theirs done and more people just standing around watching. He is a very talented artist and also very humorous. Also, he was very unassuming and professional. He came in, set up, did his work, and left without as much as a peep. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone!" - Tamara Stevens

"We thought Mike Valentine was terrific and we were so glad we had him come! He really was a hit! In addition to being very talented, Mike was so polite and nice and really seems to enjoy his job. The party was for our law firm’s 25th anniversary and we had Mike draw all of the partners – what a great memory we have for our scrap book – the partners were very pleased. We liked the fact that it was entertaining yet not a disturbance so that people could still enjoy the cocktail hour and talk, yet join in the fun of watching Mike create the drawings if they wanted. It was a lot of fun and will certainly keep your company in mind for future events. Thanks very much." - Lisa Blosio, Law Firm of Diserio, Martin, O'Connor & Castiglioni
