Booked for Birthday party

"I was delighted with Chris’ work at my birthday party last week. He caused a lot of laughter and everyone he drew was very happy with what he produced. He also brought his charming wife with him and she was able to apply the fixative and put each drawing into a plastic pouch leaving Chris able to do more drawings in the 2 hours he was with us. If I ever did something like that again I would have no hesitation in getting in touch with him. Jane"
