“Of all the caricature artists I’ve seen in all my travels around the world, Kourosh is by far the best!”
Ann Chartrand Scoville of scoville & associates

Please accept the thanks of the Office of Student Activities for your recent visit to our campus. It was a real pleasure to have you return to Sewanee: The University of the South for yet another year. Our established track record with you, dating back annually to 1992 is quite remarkable. You are one of the constants in our yearly calendar.
Our students appreciate your engaging presence and perception for picking up on aspects of their personality or hobbies that you are then able to include in their picture. From the office perspective, we are very pleased with how easy the process is to get on your calendar and bring you into campus. I wish all of our performers were as easy to get along with and take care of during the course of your visit. You are one of the most gracious spirits that I have encountered professionally.
Thank you for sharing your talents and observations with our students for so many years! We look forward to your return in the fall of 2007. In an entertainment world full of options and inherent risks, the decision to bring you back to campus year after year is an easy one to make.

There have been very few times in my professional life when I have been so pleased with a project that I have been compelled to write and express my appreciation -- this is one of those rare moments. The caricatures you have drawn at Bone's are exceptional.
Your artistic ability is applauded by our customers and by all of us here at the restaurant. And, your dependability and cooperation in the scheduling of the caricatures is very appreciated. Thank you for helping to make things run so smoothly.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance with our varied projects -- from sugar packets to birthday cards. I look forward to the completion of our current Trotters project and to our 'continued association.
Nancy E. Oswald Director of Sales

Kourosh Solaimani has done Caricatures on the mall here at Tysons Corner Center for the past four or five Christmases.
Our customers, merchants, and management have been very pleased with his work. He has maintained a neat appearance and has had an extremely fine rapport with the customers.
We would definitely like to see him return to Tysons Corner Center for future Christmases.

You are a very talented guy - thank you so much for the nice drawing. If I can be of any help, please let me know.
Tony Bauer

This is to thank you again for coming and contributing so much to the festivities of our office Christmas party. Our employees were very impressed with your talent and so highly pleased with the gifts of their own faces done in your inimitable style.
You were very pleasant, patient and cooperative. With what appeared to be little effort and in an unbelievable space of time, you produced amazing likenesses of our people, reflecting to an uncanny degree the character of each. They loved your work.
We are pleased to recommend your caricatures to all.
Louis N. Huff III

Our Association had the opportunity to employ Kourosh Solaimani as a character artist for our Christmas Party. It was the best decision we have made for entertainment in a long time.
Mr. Solaimani was hired for two hours, however, everyone enjoyed his work so much, we kept him for five hours. His personality, skill and professionalism make him one of the best. I am sure we will be utilizing his work again in the near future.
Carolyn J. Coburn Meeting Coordinator

Your talents and time were very much appreciated by our residents here at North side Convalescent Center. In only 8 minutes you created a caricature which the families and residents will cherish for many years to come. The way you combined physical features and hobbies of certain people here created more than just a photograph. We could have kept you here for hours and the people here would have enjoyed every minute.
I hope that we will again be able to have you at North side Convalescent Center. Thanks again!

I just wanted to let you know that it was a "Big Hit". They all LOVED the drawing!
They all commented on what a good job you did. We loved it. Thanks again, and hopefully we will be calling on you again

Enclosed is a picture which was taken at Brian's Bar Mitzvah. We hope that this will be useful to you and perhaps your scrapbook when you try to obtain additional jobs.
You may note that it has been almost a year since the Bar Mitzvah until we obtained the pictures, and it is just as consistent with the fact of how long it takes us to get things done perfectly.
Again, thank you very much for your helping to make Brian's Bar Mitzvah the success that it was and please reserve two years from now for younger son Paul's Bar Mitzvah.
With best regards, I remain

Last year I had the good fortune to meet Kourosh Solaimani at a Craft's Fair in the North Georgia Mountains. I was so impressed by his artistic talents that I asked him to work on a surgical project with me. He came to the Operating Room at the Baldwin County Hospital in Milledgeville and was shown our gastric bypass operation for morbid obesity. A number of gastric bypass papers, booklets, and lectures were being prepared that needed illustrating. Mr. Solaimani, in a very ingenious manner, was able to take the flavor of what we were doing and translate it into very informative and provocative caricatures.
Mr. Solaimani is an intelligent, honest, and extremely talented person. I recommend him without reservation.
William M. Headley, M.D.
