“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 asset to the party.
I would highly recommend Rafael to a friend.”
--Dana P., Vero Beach, FL. 11/16/2007

“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

--Samuel B., Attorney, Bradenton, FL.11/10/2007
