Merci Denis

Denis Proulx is a gift to work with. He's probably the fastest creative talent we've ever employed (a huge benefit when working with tight deadlines), he's organized and very clear in communicating parameters, and he's able to take suggestions and continually improve/change the illustration until he's produced exactly what you want.

Except we always got MORE than what we had visualized, because Denis is such a wonderful artist with great vision and imagination.

Denis has completed two projects for us thus far and we will continue to use his services whenever possible.

Hi Denis,

I am happy to say that I have been able to have the pleasure of reviewing all the artwork which you sent in for publication. I can tell you that it exceeded all expectations. You did a supremely good job on these drawings and
I accept all 26 for publication.

Not only are they very charming and funny cartoons, they are incredibly well drawn, clear, and practical as well. You got a great review from the staff here, as well as the president of the company, who also found them to be very witty!

After seeing this work, I would certainly like to invite you to continue with us, if you would wish to, and submit more
work for our next product, Mega 3.

I would love to see a continuation of cartoons of the professions and trades! If you think you might like to do some more work in future, please advise. It would be a pleasure to see more of your work in the library.

Thanks again for the superb topic,

All best regards,

Hi Denis

I am writing this letter to tell you how happy we are with the final artwork that you have created for our new product. You captured the essence of the characters we had imagined and brought them to life.

You are a pleasure to work with; responsible regarding deadlines; and very patient with clients as they brainstorm and change their concepts.
You are a true professional.

Without any hesitation I would recommend you to anyone in need of an artist.
You are a unique and amazing talent.
Thanks again for your hard work, thoughts and vision.

I really needed a good cartoonist to create added interest in my new website and settled on having Denis at Shangri-la Studios create a character and banner for the site.

Let me tell you, it was the best decision I've made in quite awhile! I found him extremely competent and easy to work with, and the finished result
at WhizKidRiches.com speaks for itself.

To anyone searching the internet as I did for a professional cartoonist,
you've come to the right place!

Thanks again, Denis!

I couldn't have found a better illustrator to work with the vision of my story character I held in my head.

Trying to get someone to see what you see in your mind can be difficult, but Denis listened, read the story and imagined what the author wanted.

He then let me refine it to fit the vision and story line, instead of selling me on an "off the shelf product".

I wanted originality and someone who could work with what I wanted not the other way around. We will be working together in the future on another project, for sure.
