Ty did a great job! He showed up early and had a super positive attitude the whole time. He has a great sense of hospitality about him. Definitely hire him!! (Pro tip: encourage the people he is drawing to give him a prompt or setting. He has a great imagination)

June 5, 2024Just Fabulous!
Ty was such a hit at my granddaughter's graduation party. His work is extraordinary...and his style with his subjects is superb. Relaxed, fun, nice....he really helped make the party special. It is not easy to get self conscious 14 year olds to participate but Ty made them all feel comfortable and they LOVED his drawings of them!
