Upon completion of my book, I had the incredible fortune of hiring Dee Densmore-D'Amico to create the illustrations, which was like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. In addition to being a joy to work with, Dee's unique style brought the characters and scenes to life in such a way that surpassed my expectations, to say the least. In short, the readers' experience will be infinitely more enjoyable and the novel that much more successful with Dee's contributions. Needless to say, I'll be calling her for my next project.

Dee did a fantastic job for me on my Branding campaign.
Her ability to quickly grasp the direction and execute is amazing and she was on time and on budget.

I found Dee on the internet and loved her work. I had no idea what to expect, but just took a leap of faith. Let me tell you, I wish everyone I work with is as great as Dee. She is flexible, creative, enthusiastic, and supportive. Her art MADE my project and she got it done quickly. There were very few changes that needed to be made, but when I asked her to change something she was agreeable and did it immediately. Dee is the BEST! I can’t wait to get more projects going with her soon.

Working with Dee on the header art for my food blog was a joy from beginning to end. Throughout the process she was thoroughly professional, always listening to my needs, providing me with artwork that has significantly improved the look of my site. She was able to capture exactly the feel and vibe that I was hoping for, and I believe it has noticeably increased the daily traffic to my blog. I will be hiring her again...as soon as I get my cookbook deal!

I'm a fan of Dee's art and was lucky enough to work with her for a couple of years on an erstwhile client's newsletter. It was a treat to see what she'd come up with for each issue, and the Valentine art sits above my desk to this day. No doubt the resemblance of the dog to my Rex has something to do with it of course, but Dee rocks.

As a new business we wanted to have just the right logo. We placed an ad for a logo designer. We received thousands of responses, but Dee's work stood out to us. We told Dee the idea we had in our head and that part of the logo would include our actual dog. We sent Dee a photo of the dog. We probably were not the easiest people to work with as we kept making changes, however, Dee was always very accomodating to our needs and did whatever we needed to have done to the logo. Dee was also very quick with her work when we wanted changes. We really like our logo and have already received compliments on it.

Everything looks great! Let me tell you, it has been a total pleasure working with you on this. I wish all my freelancers were as talented and efficient! I will definitely be back for more. Thanks again.

I heard about Dee D'Amico through a mutual friend and was immediately captivated with the work I saw on her web site. "Erté meets Ren and Stimpy" was my first impression, and the more I saw the more I liked. Dee did a great job of translating my mental image into art. I am very happy with my Honky Tonk Hippies poster.

I can't say enough about the positive experience I had working with Dee on my logo. I had a certain style that I wanted captured and she was able to sketch out what I had envisioned in the first proof. She is very detail oriented and you can tell she pours her heart into her creations!

Dee captures the spirit of our email newsletters perfectly, with fresh, whimsical artwork that speaks right to our target audience and advertisers. Since Dee began illustrating our newsletter for KOIT.com, our ad sales have doubled.

Witty, charming, sophisticated; all terms that I would use for the work of illustrator Dee Densmore! I have had the pleasure of working with Dee in several professional capacities over the past ten years, and cannot strongly enough stress her professionalism, patience and willingness to adapt to a client's needs (not to mention her great talent!).
As the business owner of a fashion company which creates very high end women's clothing for retail stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus I have been thrilled to work with Dee on artwork for promotional pieces. Dee has such an extensive background in fashion, that to her fashion illustrations are like shorthand! Then there is that unmistakable Dee font style; one that has worked so well for our modern european look that compliments our needs perfectly!
I have also had the pleasure of teaching with Dee at Syracuse University , and marveled each day at the techniques she used to pass her broad wealth of experience on to young students. Those who have studied with Dee realize that although she makes it look easy, her style is anything but!
When it came time for me to design a logo for my family reunion, rather that try to stumble through it alone I contacted Dee who cleverly and almost effortlessly created a most sophisticated yet charming family crest, portraying all of my family's quirky traits! No one but Dee could have handled this task; always cheerful and filled with ideas, and that wonderful fluid line quality! Needless to say, it was a hit!
Throughout the years I have been so taken with Dee's work; the fluid curving lines she achieves, resembling the twisted wrought iron found all over Paris, are so compelling, and her subject matter always includes a sense of humor and subtle whimsy. In each of her drawings Dee is able to give a feeling of movement and excitement in a way that so few can do.
One look at Dee's work and you can see why she is one of my favorite artists; her graphic sensibility looping it's way across the page, a single stroke indicating a facial expression or object. It is always such fun to see Dee's work!
I cannot speak highly enough about Dee Densmore and her flawless work and professional work ethics. I highly recommend Dee and welcome any questions anyone may have about this talented artist!

Dee is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is highly professional and
delivers on deadline. But more importantly, her illustrations are
delightful. She always manages to deliver an image that is fun, colourful,and captures the essence of the story.

It is never an easy task to translate your creative vision to an artist. Unless you happen to work with Dee Densmore-D'Amico! When I told Dee I wanted Sophisticated Girls, shopping (around the world) with their very stylish doggies, she delivered. And delivered without a lot of revisions. Since our City Girls Collection, Dee has completed another collection for the Holidays and I look forward to a continued creative partnership with her. She has a creative "sixth sense" !

Dee D'Amico has illustrated several covers for Family Times, a monthly
regional parenting magazine. She has a gift for translating a description of
an idea into the visual embodiment of those words, creating a whimsical,
delightful image that appeals to a broad audience. In addition, she is a
treat to work with--a good listener who pays close attention to detail and
to deadlines. And she gracefully accepts changes to her art in the interests
of positioning cover text and other necessary elements.

My company loves working with Dee. She is a genius with a pen. I could look at her drawings for hours and have! She is also "client budget conscious" and this fits our company fine as we do the most we can to get our clients the best possible prices.
By referring clients to Dee for logo work I don't have to worry if my clients will be treated right or if they will get something they love! Dee treats her clients like we treat ours which is basically...how we want to be treated.

Working with Dee has always been a pleasure!! Dee has designed our Christmas cards, product display cards and other items for years. We always enjoy her outstanding original and whimsical designs. And so do our customers!

"Dee is an amazing artist and an amazing person. She really took what I imagined and made it 100 times more fantastic. Her logo representation is superb! Of course, having an animal lover/artist who already has done excellent animation for magazines,etc is an added bonus!"

Danelle Hollenbeck

"Dee did a great job bringing to life exactly what I wanted in the logo for my new business. I had hired a "big box" graphics arts company to do the logo for me and no one LISTENED to what I really wanted, they just did what THEY wanted. So I fired them and hired Dee and thank God that I did, she listened to what I wanted and created the logo I had been looking for, and fast, too!
If you want a creative, unique logo that really showcases your business, Dee is who you should contact."

Margaret C. Williams

Dee took something I had in my head and made it even better (and in full-blown color)! She was super fast, professional, and very easy to talk with. I felt she cared about my project as much as I did--and that is extremely rare to find. She's like part of the family now. I tell everyone how great she is.
