• Rick was great. My 3 year old son's birthday was a hit. There were MANY children, various ages, toddlers galore and Rick was so patient with them and worked through the entire event without missing a beat. Would definitely recommend him. -- Eva T, Bronx, NY, 1/25/2009
• Rick was professional, prompt and patient. We had quite a few 10-year old girls and he managed to handle them all - even while they were crowded around him. He listened to the girls requests and honored them the best he could. They thoroughly enjoyed his drawings. -- Hilary T, Montclair, NJ, 3/15/2009
• Rick did a fabulous job and was a pleasure to work with! -- Sarah H, New York City, NY, 3/21/2009
• Rich Welch was very professional & very accomamodating. When it was time to leave , one of the kids changed their minds about having their carricature done .He unpacked his things & proceeded to start drawing again.It was kind of him & very much appreciated. Thanks rick & Gig master! -- Dina S, Mahwah, NJ, 10/8/2011
• This event was my son's wedding reception and I contracted Rick to do a drawing of 38 caricature faces of our family and friends involved with the wedding from the bride and groom to parents to flower girls to readers. Rick was totally prepared and arrived early, he even did preliminary work home before the event and knew where each "face" and the names of everyone involved in the drawing. Even though I offered him food and drinks, he had nothing but water through the entire evening. After the drawing, he then drew other guests who were very pleased. He was friendly but professional and obviously very talented. Want to hire him again! -- Maureen B, West Orange, NJ, 11/18/2011

• Excellent experience. My situation was a bit unique in that I only waned Rick to do ONE caricature. He had to do this with photos of the individuals and I only gave him a week's notice to have it completed. He even mounted the picture for me. We were very pleased with the end result. -- Daren H, Red Bank, NJ, 4/14/2012
