Hi Mark

Yes, we are all still recovering at this end. Thank you so much for your excellent cartoons – they were certainly the talking point of the island. 

Anyway, thanks so much for everything and we look forward to seeing you again next year 

Cheers

Hi Mark,

I received the picture! It looks AWESOME!

Thank you so much, for this quick and professional work. It looks even better than the idea I had in my head. 

All the best,

Birgit :)




Hi Mark
Thanks for the great cartoon, its excellent and I still can't get over how quickly you complete them, with so much attention to detail and references to what we spoke about. I've got the copy you gave me up on the walI next to my desk and its  getting lots of attention and comments!

Absolutely awesome Mark. Thanks very much. You've really added another dimension to the conference experience for everyone, especially the speakers. I really appreciate you forwarding this on. I can't wait to share this on our site.

Hi Mark,

I know you have probably had heaps of comments like this but it was such a pleasure having you working at Ascilite this year and watching you work your magic. You've inspired to try to think visually about presentations I go to as you can get such fascinating insights (my visuals will be stick figures and largely unrecognisable scribbles but it's such a brilliant way to represent the ideas being presented).

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Mark,
Just thought I’d let you know, the parents absolutely loved the caricature. They were so blown away by it
and the attention to detail like the Warriors jersey etc. They can’t stop looking and laughing at it.
They think its awesome.  Tonight they will finally let it go and hang it on the wall…hehehe.
Thank you again for the awesome work. 
Cheers.
Treena.






Hi Mark, 

Thanks for making a special effort to get the caricatures of Jamie and Lachlan done before I left yesterday. if only you could have heard them laughing, and seen how much enjoyment they got from seeing themselves as Superheroes! They just loved it, and kept coming back through the evening for another look and laugh!  

Many Thanks, Cathie Hilton       



Hi Mark

 These are great! Thank you so much for sending these to me.. What would be great is for you to provide me with 2-3 caricatures you are happy with and I’ll use these for the magazine.  Thank you so much for being at the event! You definitely added some spark to the evening!  

Kind regards,

  Hi Mark   The two caricatures arrived this a.m. and they look FANTASTIC.   Thank you very much.  We look forward to seeing the reaction of the recipients!!!

Hi Mark,

Thank you again for all your work.  Owen unveiled his present this morning and was utterly delighted, surprised and I know he didn’t already have one!!  It is so hard to find something for someone who has pretty much done/seen and got everything, but your work afforded something truly special.

 Kind Regards and thanks Terese




Love it!  This looks far better than anything we could have expected! The kids will be blown away!

Every classmate's detail was carefully scripted and scribbled, capturing the essence of every fantastic individual from the Waikato MBA Class A of 2010.  I thank you Mark for your efforts, attending to that every detail.  Your work is brilliant and you have been very easy to work with to complete this.  All my classmates agree; you are very talented artist!
This group caricature is to be presented to Waikato University Executive Management team and then displayed at the back of the lecture theatre indicated in the picture, for all to see your brilliant work.  An outstanding job.  Thanks once again Mark
