“Dee D’Amico of Fun Family Crests has now done three amazing crests for two of Extreme
Makeover Home Edition families. I totally rely on her to capture the true heart of the family and she always hits the bulls
eye brilliantly through her fun whimsical style. Every member of the family’s personality shines and is interwoven
into her colorful crests. The crests are something our family’s will treasure for generations. At Extreme Makeover,
we search for the best and Dee fits the bill. “
- Billy Roberts, Design Producer of Extreme Makeover Home Edition
Dee,
I am writing to thank you for having your Fun Family Crest website. After becoming motivated to create a crest specific
to my family, I felt my options in this realm were limited. Luckily, I found FFC, which allowed me to get what I was really
looking for, a genuine work of art, tailored specifically to my family and beautifully finished. You took
the most important aspects of my life, and weaved it into a one-of-a-kind visual centerpiece for my home. My entire
family thanks you for giving us another reason to get closer as a family.
Best of Luck,
The Moore Family

In my quest for a completely unique Christmas card, I came across Dee's
website for The Family Fun Crest. I loved the examples I saw from other
families and HAD to have one of my own.
It was so easy, I simply sent Dee some photographs and information about
each of my family members. Within a week, I had my first sketch and I
squealed when I opened the email. It was so detailed and absolutely tells
the story of my family without any words. Her attention to detail and
professionalism are second to none. It will be REALLY hard not to unveil
my Family Fun Crest to everyone until the holiday. Thank you Dee, my
Plouff Family Fun Crest will be cherished for many years to come.

Working with
Dee on my Fun Family Crest was just terrific. She took what things I gathered together and came back very soon with an amazingly
on target crest for a first draft. She was able to convey both the fun and the sentiment in our crest. The crest made a
great present for my family members and I got to have a great time creating a very artistic gift, quite a feat since I have
no artistic talents at all, thanks Dee!!

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!
Sincerely,
