July 21, 2025Howard was so awesome!!!!!!
He was so helpful beyond his required scope, easy to communicate, and did an amazing job, everyone was so happy with their drawings. I will definitely use him again in the future, if possible. If you are looking for an amazing artist to have at your event please think of Howard.
