• Mr. Curbis arrived early for set up, charmingly entertained the guests as he did portraits (we did couples), and stayed until everyone had had a turn.

• I hired a caricature artist for my sons 1st birthday party. Dave was WONDERFUL! The kids were excited to see someone was going to draw pictures......I know the adults LOVED it also. Dave was very professional...and everyone enjoyed his work. I would definitely recommend him and use him again. The birthday boy fell asleep so he was able to do a caricature from a recent photo. He was professional, arrived on time and the price was wonderful for the amount of time reserved. Thanks Dave -- Sonya B, Chicago, IL, 6/18/2011

• Dave came to my son's 2nd birthday party to draw caricatures for a bunch of 2 and 3 year olds. He was very professional and friendly with the kids. He did a good job of keeping their attention and didn't take too long while drawing so they weren't getting to antsy. Dave's drawings were great and the kids really loved them. Mikki did the face painting. She was very good with the kids and did a great job of handling the requests from the kids. The kids were very excited to have their faces painted. Even after the party kids were asking for more face painting. -- Dana H, Chicago, IL, 3/14/2010
