This is the 3rd year in a row that we have selected Pete to do caricatures at our store party! Our staff loves it, it’s great fun for everyone. Pete is so flexible and always accomodates our requests. I highly recommend his services.
--Shauna D, Whole Foods
Pete’s caricatures were such a hit at our carnival, and Pete’s work was top notch! The caricatures really captured the essence of the people he drew, plus he was such a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend working with Pete for your next event, we will for sure be inviting him back.
--Elise K., Event Coordinator at a Twin Cities area college (Review on Yelp)
I appreciate your feedback and dedication to our event! It was a HUGE success! We are so very lucky to have you part of our events and we appreciate you staying a little later. Awesome! I just saw the pics online. The football player Dian drew was my son – he loved it!
--Nikki F., Parks and Rec Center Director
On behalf of the Eighth Circuit Judicial Conference, I thank you... You are a talented artist and you provided not only entertainment for our conferees, but a lasting memento of the evening for many lucky guests. There was even a suggestion of using your sketches in place of photographs for the court’s annual report! We enjoyed having you!”
--June Boadwine
Thank you for your work at the St. James Hotel. You were a hit thanks to your artistic ability coupled with your comfort around people. You will hear from us again!

Thanks for working with us, Pete and Dian. We appreciate the good work and the excellent ‘P.R.’ you create. You have become a tradition at the Bakers’ Convention--maybe you will become a living legend. Who knows?

Pete & Dian: Thank you for all your help, consultation and the ‘gig’ Saturday. The day went fantastic and I think the cartoon poster and caricatures did a lot toward a fun mood. My partner commented that ‘Dian has such an engaging smile, she gets you relaxed and that’s how she gets the drawing.’ Thanks again.
--Margo Ashmore, Publisher, The Northeaster
On behalf of GTI, I want to thank you for participating in our annual Golf Classic. Your drawings were a big hit--many are hanging in the employees’ offices here. Thanks again.

Nate "McLovin" and I have had a caricature done every year at the Northern Wisconsin state fair for the past 4 years. Unfortunately we aren't able to do a 5th year this year. As the fair is going on now and we don't have the time to go to Chippewa Falls. Hopefully we can find you guys somewhere else! Thanks for some awesome caricatures!

My kids always look forward to having their caricatures drawn by Pete and Dian at our annual neighborhood ice cream social. My daughters are identical twins, yet Pete captured their slight differences in looks and personalities. I'd highly recommend!
