Happy new year to you.  Just wanted to let you know my husband was beyond happy with the picture you did, he said it’s the best gift, by far, he’s ever been given.  
Thank you so very much for doing this for me, I could not be happier.
Kindest regards

​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!

Hi Mark

I had the caricature sent to my dad's address and just got to picking it up this afternoon.

Thank you so much for your quick replies to my emails, your interpretation of what I was looking for was spot on and the quality of the end result is just awesome!

Thank you again 

Regards
Leandra 



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

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

You helped us win the Best stand and everyone was commenting on the cartoons last night at the Dinner!

I look forward to using you for more tradeshows in the future!

Just to let you know the sketches/drawings went down a real treat.  Everyone was really impressed with how well you captured us and it was nice to see everyone sharing pointing and laughing when they unwrapped their framed gift.

Hi Mark
 
The caricature of Kieran was a huge success.   When an 18 year old opens his present and says “That is So Cool” you know you’ve hit the mark.   Even more so when his younger brothers ask if they can have one for their 18th birthday.   
Thanks again

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 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,
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,

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!

Thank you very much for the caricature. We presented it to our retired bus driver, Joe last night and all who saw it were delighted with the finished item (especially the children!).
