"I received the art this morning and they are beautiful. I
appreciate not only your work, but you and Judy as well. There
is no question that your artwork is phenomenal. It is the
extension of your heart that you put into your work that makes
me stand in awe. Not only can I see it in your work but your
intent is powerful enough that I can literally feel you connecting
with my concept of the SOCTOPUS™ characters.  Judy has
been wonderful as well. She makes doing business a breeze
and has been outstandingly supportive. Her words of
encouragement and support have helped me to power through
the mental and emotional fatigue of trying to bring the
SOCTOPUS™ Characters to market. Overall, I am very grateful
for you both. I feel like you are part of my team.  Warmly,"
Mary Alice Catherina Creator Soctopus TM Characters

brilliant! The sketch was amazing, and
this is … I have no words; FANTASTIC,
AMAZING,EXTRAORDINARY are just
words, comparatively, and don’t
express. There was a picture I had in
my mind, and with very little guidance
from un-creative me, you were able to
take that picture from my head and
create "I am beside-myself-giddy! This
is something far more than I could have
ever imagined it could have been.  I am
so grateful for your advice and that you
didn’t just take me at my word as to
what I thought I wanted. The fact that you
were more concerned about the art than
simply a paycheck is unusual,
admirable, and noble.  I can’t thank you
enough for gently correcting my (lack of )
vision! I can safely say anyone within
range of me – a few people overseas -
knows your name! This is just positively
brilliant! The others and I are thrilled
and cannot wait to present it to our
friend. Thank YOU for sharing your gift
so people like me can take advantage! It
looks awesome - I won't be able to get
this to him fast enough!"

“The caricatures are
awesome! I can't believe
how well they I ever have
the need for a caricature
drawing in the future, I
know exactly who to call."  
A few days later: "Oh yeah,
I presented the framed
drawing to the guys last
night. They were laughing
so hard they were crying.
They thought it was
awesome.  I've never
gotten a reaction like that
to a gift."
Mike V  
"It's beautiful! I couldn't
help but laugh when I saw
all the extra leaves on the
ground that Jess added.  
Tell him he'd better hope
the "symbolism" escapes
my mom. She's pretty
handy with a cane.  I think
she will forgive it when she
sees how many years he's
taken off her face and
figure.  I love it!   I'm going
to have a large one done
and framed for my parents.
I'll have that placed on an
easel at the front entrance
when they arrive. I plan to
print off individual ones for
each of the guests that will
be placed at the table
settings  to designate it as
a keepsake."
