From Tricia, Goulburn:

"Oh ....... my ....... goodness!!!!!  You are  one talented lady!!!  Thank you sooooooooo  much. When I opened it up I just couldn't stop looking at my boy looking back at me!!!!  I've decided to get it professionally framed. I can't mess around with a cheap frame when I have something that is so priceless!  You are a God-send.  You have made me the happiest lady in Australia!!  You make people very happy ... how good are you!!!"

(Update:  Christopher's birthday was yesterday. As expected, he was totally blown away, as were the rest of our family!!!  The smile on his face and the excitement in his eyes was priceless.  He couldn't rip the paper off quick enough when he recognised his forehead!!  He loves it and spent several minutes picking out the his things that you put in the picture... he thinks he's seen them all and then something else pops up!

Also, I showed my work mates and they all stood around ooooohing and aaahing!  You are a genius Doctor Jay... We owe you hours of smiles and happiness.  I will sing your praises from the roof top!"

 

From Lee, on behalf of herself and a group of work colleagues:

"We are ecstatic! The picture is hanging on the wall here in the office and none of us can do any work because we can't stop looking at it!!! It's fantastic. And it's SO BIG! You have captured us all so perfectly and there is so much detail. Everybody's come to look at it. Thanks for the free cd. We've all had our own copies made to hang up at home! Thank you so much Doctor Jay for all the extra things you did for us without charge... coming and taking our photos and everything. This has been a fun experience and we appreciate it so much. Thank you a million times!!!"

From Tracy, Canberra, May 2009 (picture sent to her parents in England):

"Hi Doc. Yes, finally the time came to give this great gift with all the anticipation you can imagine that mounted since we began talking about the details of the cartoon portrait. The event did not disappoint. We all gathered around the computer (webcam). Mum and Dad thought we were just having a chat, when Kelly said we had a presentation to make and Lorraine brought the wrapped picture into the room. They both opened it and couldn't believe what they saw! The look on their faces was truly fantastic and we all spent ages talking about it as they picked up on all the little details you put in, and took in the brilliance of what you created for them. Amongst many many other things, this is some of the things they said - "Chuffed to death", "Absolutely fantastic", "Brilliant", "Marvellous". They wanted to know all about you and how we had decided what to do and how you did it. We have taken some pictures for you to see the amazing job you have done. I think they plan to take more for you. I know I have said it before but THANKYOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Doc. The picture is going to be a source of so much joy, happiness and admiration for us all for always. Take care, and one last one - THANKYOU!!!!!"

 

From Lisa, Melbourne:

"Well what can I say! You blew us all away with the picture. The girls just couldn't stop looking at it and how much it looks like us all. It was fantastic and we are all very impressed and happy with it."

 

From Ian, Adelaide:

"This is Wonderful! I appreciate it so much. My wife says it makes me look like the person she married! I'll get it on my website and I can't wait to start getting some responses. You certainly have a wonderful talent and I am lucky to be a recipient of it"

 

From Christina, Sydney:

"Doug was SO VERY PLEASED with the picture. He laughed and laughed and it was certainly a talking piece over lunch. We had a great day, and Doug was touched that I obviously had put thought into his present. Thanks again! It was a great success"

 

From Cal, Goulburn:

"Well, just let me say that it takes an extra ordinary thing to impress me and you, my friend, impressed me with your art work. The wife presented it to me for my 50th birthday and I was gob smacked! It just captures the essence of me and I am so surpised that you captured that essence from a simple photo and some background research. Having never met you, I am extremely impressed with your work and I will have to come and have a cuppa with you one day when I am in town. We can't have talent like yours going unrecognised and unpromoted. Damn, you even included my piece on your web page! All the very best for a great future and the making of fine art to hand down to the family for generations to come"

 

From Ed, South Queensland:

"Yeah!!! Got it today!!! Thanks for looking after me. I really appreciate it. Great Great work again.. Very very talented you are! They are speechless! And over the moon!!!

Thanks Dr Jay, you brought more tears of happiness to the world.... thank you!"
