“Lars made such a great impression on my sales guys at one of our conferences that they told me to hire him going forward for every tradeshow we participate in, no matter where it is! His energy and attention to detail go above and beyond… so if you want to make a lasting impression at your next event, look no further and hire Lars!”

“Lars entertained artistically at the April birthday party at the Fountains retirement center. I am not an employee but attended with my mother. The residents who attended the party so enjoyed his art work and his lovable personality. He relates so well with elderly people and put a lot of smiles on faces that may not have smiled today. He also gave the residents a lot of laughs. Do hope he will perform at the Fountains again. The residents absolutely loved him.”

“I am thrilled! Lars is an artistic genius. He captured the essence of my family ( from only a few photographs ) which must be much more challenging than meeting them in person. He surpassed my very high expectations. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!”

“As a fellow illustrator, I have the utmost respect and admiration for Lars. I am in close contact with Lars and his work on a daily basis. Lars has the ability to capture the character and likeness of his subjects in a very complete, convincing and professional manner. His technical ability and sense of humor come through in his work, but there is more. Lars just has good character. He’s a good man, and I think that’s an admirable quality that is frankly missing in a lot of people these days. I would highly recommend him for any assignment.”

“I met Lars-Erik Robinson at an event in the fall of 2010. We were neighboring vendors for a full day, and had a chance to engage in conversation while I observed him entertaining and drawing caricatures of a wide range of people and their pets. We found a lot of common ground during our first meeting, and intended to collaborate and remain close through social media and in-person.
Although our two careers keep us very busy, we finally collaborated on a major project, July 2011 when I assisted Lars with his new LarsERArts logo and his LarsERArts.com website. It was a true synergistic effort as Lars and I both had a lot to offer, and he is open to communication and the ideas of others. Lars definitely was able to present the goals of the project, and had enough brilliant artwork to really make the site amazing. He was very appreciative of my assistance and is a courteous and perfect compliment to me and my way of working.
I have seen Lars grow as an artist with each quick sketch, mural, or extended illustration. As a person involved in the arts my entire life, with a BA in Fine Arts and history of working with professional artists – I have never seen the ability that this man has. His sense of awareness and technique has no limit. Many others have technique, and can draw/paint – but Lars has the best of both worlds – he can SEE. Lars’ observation of faces and personality is legendary and thoroughly engaging to see live.
I know that I met Lars on the cusp of National recognition and an amazing career. Every element is right about this man. He’s on the right track, making calculated moves and working with great business sense and amazing talent. It is my desire that this recommendation will reach the National or international community who will view his portfolio and bring his artwork to a larger audience.
His dedication to his craft and sacrifices of sleep, serenity, and an easy lifestyle are observable and commendable. I am so happy to have Lars as a friend, client, and business collaborator – as I plan to involve him in my own design projects.
He is a great person who really shines in one-on one interaction, and with a large crowd. I highly recommend any interaction with Lars – whether it be a twitter or social media friendship, a studio portrait, art lessons, hiring him to draw caricatures at your next business or social event, a mural in your restaurant, or just a quick meeting and sketch at Pier 60 in Clearwater or the Pier in St. Petersburg, FL.
Lars is great at updating his @LarsERArts.com twitter account and calendar at http://www.LareERArts.com – so you can find him in Tampa Bay and watch his brand of ArtTainment.
Once you meet Lars, you will see that his talent and spirit are unmatched, and that his love for family, friends, and his other interests have true passion and sincerity.”

“Lars-Erik added a very special element to our band concert by drawing while the pieces were being performed. The concert featured familiar music from animated movies, cartoons, etc. Lars-Erik created unique works of art and provided a wonderful visual while the students performed. It was a memorable evening for the students and the audience.”

“On behalf of The Pier and our entire staff, tenants and guests, I would like to highly recommend Lars-Erik Robinson, caricature artist, for any event in which you need quality entertainment. Not only is Lars an excellent caricature artist, but he his extremely professional, always on time for events and goes above and beyond in working with his “subjects” to ensure they have a wonderful experience – entertaining them while drawing them to make the time go quicker.”
We have been privileged to have Lars on our “roster of entertainers” at The Pier for well over eight years and are always awed by his professionalism and for the service he provides for us.

“This recommendation is well overdue. Lars turned a 2yr olds birthday party into an all out celebration. Not only is his creative talent beyond impressive, his personality sets him far above the rest in his “Art-tainment” field. He had all of the kids at the party laughing and having fun and the adults ended up wanting their caricatures done even more than the kids did. Thanks again for making my nephews birthday better than I could have ever asked for!”

“Lars has provided his talent for the Seminole Pow Wow Fesitval. We were so pleased with his work, that we invited him again this year. The caricatures he provided for the festival goers were wonderful. I am sure he will be a fixture at the festival for years to come!”

“Lars Erik provided the caricature artwork for my business. Not only is he one of the nicest people I have met, he was very professional and did a terrific job for me. I will definitely use Lars again and recommend him to anyone needing someone with his talents. His artwork has helped me stand out and be remembered in my field. Thanks Lars!”
