Hi Rick,
sorry to take so long to get back to you. Mum and Dad were absolutely thrilled with the caricature in fact Dad is still talking about it and telling everybody how wonderful it is. They both look at it and chuckle even now. So it was a huge hit! I have passed your cards and flyers around to family and friends and everyone who saw it commented on what a wonderful representation of our family it was and what an original idea. Again I must say thank you for making their 50th wedding anniversary such a special event and providing an original family caricature that has everyone laughing and talking about it.

Dear Rick,I cannot thank you enough for the excellent caricature you did of my brother-in-law that I have been wanting to get revenge on for 30 years! You captured his features perfectly - he loves it! He says it was the best present anyone has ever given him in his whole life! It's been a lot of fun organising and planning the caricature with you Rick and highly recommend you to anyone who’s contemplating on one for their family member or work mate.You have amazing talent and are a lovely person also!

I've asked Rick Lum to do caricatures as gifts for some of my work colleagues. One was for my boss and was just the best present I could have chosen - They have been great for farewells too - as they are personal and a wonderful way to let people know they are valued for who they are! I have no doubt these caricatures are really appreciated as great talking points in their homes. Rick has an uncanny ability to create a caricature that vividly depicts the personality and qualities of the person in question. He is very professional in his approach and I would most highly recommend his services to anyone.

Rick, you are a legend! You have captured the essence of Dad's personality brilliantly. It was the most amazing and unique gift I could have ever given him to portray and celebrate his 70 years. He was so touched that you included his old canine mate and we all had a chuckle at the row of beer cans at the bow of the boat. It is now the focal point of many family discussions. Love your work Rick, you are truly talented and I can’t wait to order the next caricature!

To whom it may concern. I have used Rick Lum’s caricature service on several occasions for staff retirement and farewell gifts. His ability to bring out the real character in a way that is both humorous and yet flattering is uncanny.

Hi Rick,
I would like to thank you for the wonderful caricature that you did of Terry for his 60th birthday. You have captured Terry as we all know him, with that cheeky smile, the dimples and the laughing eyes. I have sent photos of the caricature to Terry’s family interstate and they absolutely loved that you have captured the essence of the man as well. I also showed my three year old grandson a rough copy of the caricature before completion and he immediately said “That’s Terry!” Thank you so much it is a gift that Terry will treasure.

Hi Rick,
we gave the caricature to Dr Appleberg last weekend. He absolutely loved it! I have attached a couple of photos. Once again, thank you very much.

Hi Rick
Mate,I just wanted to let you know that Courtney was blown away by her caricature when I presented it to her today for her 17th birthday.(see
attached pic). Everyone commented that you'd really captured her character and I must agree. I'll be happy to write a small testimonial when I'm not quite so tired. (Been a long week). Honestly, like me she didn't stop smiling whenever she looked at it. It had the exact effect I had hoped for. I may ask you to do more in the future and will certainly recommend your work to others.
Thank you so much mate

Hi Rick
Ronny was presented with your caricature today and he loved it.. everyone raved about how good it is. So I’ve passed your pamphlets around. I ended up getting it professionally framed with uv protection etc – so it looks fantastic. Thanks again for everything. Sorry about the stress re: Aust post!! They told me it was one of the workers who signed for it and she’s been sent elsewhere now!!
Take care

Hi Rick
The caricature of Jody arrived 2 days ago and it looks great mate. The poem was also great. I gave Jody the picture this morning and she absolutely loves it.
She says it is the best one of her ever. She was in tears after reading the poem as well. Can’t thank you enough mate. You have made her day.
Regards

I hope you had a wonderful Xmas & New Year. James absolutely loved his caricature (plus all the ribbing off his mates!). He had a good laugh, said it was fantastic & then asked "Mum, is there a reason why I'm coming out of the closet?" I then explained the closet guitarist thing to him hehe. All the best for the New Year Rick
