    Mr. Place was very creative and professional in his performance of this assignment. He read, understood and appreciated a somewhat esoteric work, and he imagined and created illustrations that well conveyed its meaning and humor. I would be very happy to work with him again, and I highly recommend him for artistic skill, imagination and creativity.

    You can't beat high quality work that's finished quickly for a reasonable price. We would not hesitate to use him again.

    If your job requires a master artist, look no further. Bob Place really "bailed us out" . He got our job done well ahead of schedule and was a pleasure to work with. His artistic and creative abilities are nothing short of remarkable.

    After several bad experiences with other artists, Robert came in and did what the others couldnt do: follow directions, be creative and do it on a timetable. I would refer others to him without hestitation and can be contacted to authenticate my comments here. info@pccreative.com
