Rufus was a hit!

We hired Rufus for a two day event at a large Convention in Salt Lake. He is very talented and everyone really enjoyed their drawings, he set up a monitor so other people could watch him draw; he is very talented! He was even drawing people who didn't know as they were sitting or standing around talking and then gave them their drawing and supposed them, thank you Rufus!
