Letter to Tad Barney of The Nose:
"KUDOS to The Nose! The artists that came to our holiday party were wonderful. Everyone had a fantastic time, and we kept all super-busy - you should have seen the lines!
I want to say that of all our artists that evening, Kourosh was the most popular, and his drawings kept people in stitches. He was not only courteous, talented, and hard working, but he tool the time to get to everyone in his line and even stayed a few minutes beyond the party (at his request) to finish up those he had given a number to earlier on since he chose to do details instead of just upper body. He was truly a wonder, and you are so lucky to have him on your team!
Please let Kourosh know that he was an exceptional person to work with, and his work was SO well received (ha had people stepping out of the main line to form one for him personally - it was pretty impressive) He also wore his artist's hat, and really looked the part. Some of the stuff he came up with for people was hilarious - and his facials were spot on! He is a true artist, and we thoroughly enjoyed his talents that evening. Thank you."

"Please accept the thanks of the Office of Student Activities for your recent visit to our campus. It was a real pleasure to have you return to Sewanee: The University of the South for yet another year. Our established track record with you, dating back annually to 1992 is quite remarkable. You are one of the constants in our yearly calendar.
Our students appreciate your engaging presence and perception for picking up on aspects of their personality or hobbies that you are then able to include in their picture. From the office perspective, we are very pleased with how easy the process is to get on your calendar and bring you into campus. I wish all of our performers were as easy to get along with and take care of during the course of your visit. You are one of the most gracious spirits that I have encountered professionally.
Thank you for sharing your talents and observations with our students for so many years! We look forward to your return in the fall of 2007. In an entertainment world full of options and inherent risks, the decision to bring you back to campus year after year is an easy one to make."

Mr. Solaimani was hired for two hours, however, everyone enjoyed his work so much, we kept him for five hours. His personality, skill and professionalism make him one of the best. I am sure we will be utilizing his work again in the near future."

"Your talents and time were very much appreciated by our residents here at Northside Convalescent Center. In only 4 minutes you created a caricature which the families and residents will cherish for many years to come. The way you combined physical features and hobbies of certain people here created more than just a photograph. We could have kept you here for hours and the people here would have enjoyed every minute.
I hope that we will again be able to have you at North side Convalescent Center. Thanks again!"

"Last year I had the good fortune to meet Kourosh Solaimani at an event in the North Georgia Mountains. I was so impressed by his artistic talents that I asked him to work on a surgical project with me. He came to the Operating Room at the Baldwin County Hospital in Milledgeville and was shown our gastric bypass operation for morbid obesity. A number of gastric bypass papers, booklets, and lectures were being prepared that needed illustrating. Mr. Solaimani, in a very ingenious manner, was able to take the flavor of what we were doing and translate it into very informative and provocative caricatures.
Mr. Solaimani is an intelligent, honest, and extremely talented person. I recommend him without reservation."
William M. Headley, M.D.

"After spending thousands of dollars on various ad campaigns to promote myself In Real Estate sales, I discovered KOUROSH & his team of artists. KOUROSH has transformed me from just another Realtor to a TRADEMARK! My caricature brings smile to the faces of prospective clients & actually opens conversation in a non threatening way. I use my caricature on all my advertisings now and will never return to the hit & miss ads. The largest corporations in the USA spend millions on logos & trademarks. Name recognition is priceless, the results I received from Kourosh was astonishing.
