"Some kind words..."

"Adam Pate can whip up a sketch of you so true to life it will make you pee your pants!"

Suzie Frazier Mueller, Director, Sparx in the City/Street Beats, Cleveland, OH


"My management team and staff were extremely pleased with your service. All comments from our guests who had their caricatures done were extremely positive. Continued SUCCESS to your organization! I will recommend you to any group that would be interested in your line of service."

Michael Paul Popovich, GM, Jays Sports Bar, Pittsburgh, PA


"I enjoy everything about you, Adam!!!!"

Fran Mester, Prom Committee Advisor, Tusky Valley High School, Zoar, OH - pre formatted review.


"Letter of Recommendation, October, 2006"

I hope you enjoyed the event. The feedback that I was continually getting was that we should have you at every event! The radio station even asked about you and how you could be reached. I felt that your skill and style was perfect for the event. Everyone that wanted a picture got one and without having to miss out on any of the other activities.

We even had the president of the alumni association board of
directors make a comment about how much he and his family enjoyed getting the pictures!

In my opinion, hiring you for the event was the best thing that I did. I could have hoped for anything better, especially when you were willing to walk around and find people to draw.

We will definitely keep you in mind for future events!

Thanks so much!
Heidi - Western Michigan University


"Some more kind words..."

Some especially kind words for me from teachers and prom sponsors:

“Super service-above average. Adam, thank you once again for all of your efforts at our prom. Your entertainers were excellent with our students as were you. Your skill was wonderful. We certainly appreciated your talents. I will and have referred you to my associates. Your prices were very competitive and you were very polite and accommodating. We have a dinner dance
coming up...etc...”

Deer Lakes High School


“Friendly, cooperative and willing to help. I would most defnitely refer you to my friends!”

Pine Richland High School


“The kids loved the caricatures! It was something different. ... I thought everything went fine. We have had nothing but good comments and the kids liked it because it was something that had not been done before. ... Also, you can always use me as a reference if you ever need to - in case someone would be contemplating hiring you and would like to talk with someone who has used your services”

Ashland High School


“Your services were a hit. They were carrying them around school Monday. Thanks.”

Highland High School


“Adam, Your services were exactly as advertised and all of the students had only nice things to say about your work, so did our high school art teachers! I have one of your flyers that I will save for future use. ... Thanks again for your excellent work!”

Lexington High School


“We were very happy with the services you performed. Everyone enjoyed their caricature drawings. ... We believe your service was advertised accurately. ... We would like to use your services again next year”

Mapleton Elementary


“Adam, thank you for participating in National Library Week. Our students enjoyed your caricature of their teacher and the techniques you demonstrated.”

Nordonia Elementary School


“Mr. Pate, thank you for coming to our school and showing our 5th grade class how to do art. We liked the scratching pictures we did.”

(All of the 5th grade class made me little thank you cards and it was adorable!)

"Trade Show November 2, 2006"

As for your performance I think this sums it up:

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

We absolutely loved you and thought you were great. We were really impressed on how you helped us promote For Rent and got our clients talking. You did a fantastic job and we hope to have you back next year. :-)

You were wonderful and our whole team thanks you and appreciates everything. THANKS!!! - FOR RENT MAGAZINE


"Prom!"

"Adam, What a remarkable talent you have for capturing the unique characteristics of each child you draw making your sketches very different and so much more personal than any other caricature artist I've ever seen. You have a talent for seeing expressions that make the sketch so realistic and close to the subject. I appreciate your professionalism and promptness during a very hectic and special evening. You helped to make our post prom a very memorable night for our 285 students. Thank you!" - North Olmsted, OH


"College Review - Sept 2009"

Dear Doug,
I wanted to write and tell you how much we enjoyed having Adam Pate work here at the University of West Florida. The event was wonderful and still has people talking, from students to faculty and staff. We couldn't have asked for a better day.

Thanks again for helping us work out the date, and we look forward to working with you in the future.

- UWF Program Advisor, September 17, 2009. - University of West Florida


"Praise for Doug and I!"

"Hey Doug, Adam was AWESOME!!!!! We definitely want to bring him in again. The students talked about him for days. Our office absolutely LOVED him! He was very professional, and oh my gosh soooooo fast. I got tickled just watching him. I think some of the students that didn't participate were truly disappointed, because they had seen the others drawings. He is going to go really far in his career because he has an incredible personality, and interacts great with large crowds of students. Thanks a million Doug, you WILL hear from me again."

University of Arkansas Medical Center

"Things went very well with Adam on Feb. 26th. The students really enjoyed him and there was a line for most of the lunch hour while he was here. I think overall, the event was a success for such quick and last minute planning. You were a pleasure to work with. I do feel that we'll be working with you and Adam again, since the Board really liked having him here, so hopefully we'll be able to work together again in the near future."

The College of New Jersey

"Things went very well! The students in CAB said that they would have him back, so that is always a good thing! We haven't started thinking about the fall yet, but will definitely keep adam in mind."

Thank you for sending Adam Pate on Wednesday, September 26th to entertain the students here at New River Community College. We are pleased with the wonderful 150 caricatures he did for the students.

Bio

Adam the Speed Sketcher is the fastest caricature artist in the world! Because of his unique background, Adam is comfortable in situations that would inhibit other artists and entertainers from performing. He usually books by the amount of guests expected and is committed to draw and entertain every single one of them.

For extremely large events, or if Adam is already booked, several additional artists are available that Adam has trained and they can ALMOST keep up with him. Only the fastest, friendliest and most talented artists in the country are on Adams backup list. Just 2 artists should be able to draw over 100 people per hour! Adam is also fully insured.

Adam can draw at smaller events as well. He will come set up an easel and draw more detailed drawings with bodies and color them if you like. He also does digital caricatures that can be projected onto a screen, has a camera that can live stream the entire event online and he does coloring projects at parties as well! Lots of extra options to make the experience even more special!

For more entertainment ideas, check out his agency, Something Fun and Different Entertainment! There you'll find lots of fabulous artistic entertainment options that you've never seen before!
