CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Rafael was a pleasure to have at the party. He is very talented, friendly, accommodating to our needs and the needs of our guests. He was never seen without a smile...a real assest to the party. I would highly recommend Rafael to a friend.

Outstanding! I would urge anyone to consider hiring a caricaturist to draw your guests at your next party. It's a great way for them to take away a memento and it's a huge hit for all ages - from the youngest to the oldest. I realized during this process that everyone wants to be drawn, even if just to see how we would look as a cartoon, but may be embarrassed to do so in public. This is the perfect place to do it.
And, if you do hire a caricaturist, hire this man. Rafael Diez is very talented and tireless. He must have done 40 drawings non-stop and never failed to be engaging, genuine and a real pleasure to have at the party. Thanks, Rafael! – Sam Blanco
