• Roger was a huge hit at my birthday party! People loved him and waited in line for hours to get a picture drawn up. He is very talented in his line of work! I would refer him to anyone that is looking for a caricature artist. He was great on extending the time for all my guests to get drawn up. Once again, thank you Roger for making it to my party! I look forward to working with you again in the future. -- Mari J, Crete, IL, 1/8/2011
• Roger was wonderful. He kept my guests laughing all night as he drew piece after piece. He was such a hit, at my husbands 40th birthday party, we had to ask if he was willing to stay for an extra hour (and of course he was.) He was entertaining to everyone at the party, the old the young and everyone in between. I have nothing but good things to say about Roger and his work. -- Cassaundra J, Hammond, IN, 3/25/2011
• Roger was very talented and worked well with the kids and even the adults enjoyed him. Great job and I will definately use him again. Thanks Roger! -- Tammy N, Lemont, IL, 5/1/2011
• Roger was fantastic -- friendly, great with my guests from young to adult, and incredibly talented. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to hire him again. Thanks, Roger! -- Addie G, Wilmette, IL, 2/5/2012
• We hired Roger to give our National Restaurant Association booth a little extra pizzazz, and he definitely stole the show! People were stopping by and asking for caricatures, making our booth look full. He drove in a lot of extra traffic. All in all, Roger was incredibly professional and just fun to hang out with during the slow hours. He laughed at all of our terrible jokes and drew all of us twice. I would recommend him to anyone! -- Abby E, Chicago, IL, 5/5/2012
