General Electric in Atlanta celebrated Cindy's retirement with a classic movie style poster, this gift artwork is truly unique and one of a kind because it was specifically made for Cindy herself.

Kourosh and Amanda,

Thank you so much for creating the perfect gift for Cindy’s retirement. She just loved it. (she even had a tear in her eye). She was also thrilled at the fact she looked so beautiful in the picture – nice touch Kourosh!

All in all, the gift went very well, and many folks thought it was awesome. It served as a great discussion piece.

It was a pleasure working with you both, and thank you for your patience. You are very talented Kourosh, and I admired that quality through the process.

With gratitude,

Denise.

- HOLIDAY PARTY -

Caricatures were drawn for a large office party. The client was extremely pleased with the results.

"KUDOS to The Nose! The artists that came to our holiday party were wonderful. Everyone had a fantastic time - 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 took 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. (I 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."

Wendy Lindly, Executive Assistant, Georgia North Division

In fact, our guests were quite intrigued, and so was practically everyone else in the restaurant. One woman asked me where I got it and when we were leaving, two different couples approached me asking if it was for sale (they thought I was an artist promoting my work!) Thanks."

For 20+ years, we have been invited back to draw caricatures of the students at the University of the South in Sawanee, TN.

"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 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."

This was a gift presented at a retirement party. A lot of work went into getting details of not only the caricature but the equipment and environment.

Kourosh was very communicative; requesting photos of our work space, a list of hobbies/interests of our employee, and spent lots of time on the phone with me to get the artwork just right. The piece was incredibly detail oriented with a unique style. I was also impressed by quickly he worked. He was able to complete the artwork and do a fabulous job in a short amount of time. I would not hesitate to hire Kourosh again for other commissioned works or events. He is a wonderful artist, is very time efficient, and cares about his work!"
