Nidal Halabi with Brinks Awards & Signs saved my life. The boss was having a big 4th of July bash…read moreat his ranch, and I needed to get 12 wine glasses etched in very little time. I was referred to Brinks by our previous engraver who closed down their shop. I reached out and talked to Nidal, who was not only very friendly, but very knowledgeable. I basically gave him very little direction and left things in his hands; after all, he's the professional. I told him what I wanted etched, where I wanted it etched, and just told him to do whatever he thought was best. I gave him a two-week deadline, but of course the boss asked if we could get it sooner and Nidal came through. We were able to get it back in about 7-8 days. First and definitely not the last time I will be using Brinks for our future work. Thanks Nidal!

The customer service is five star, as well as the inventory of fabulous wall art and art objects. I highly recommend Nicely Art in Santa Cruz to anyone who is looking elevate their aesthetic.

We had the privilege of being his students for two sessions while visiting from Orange County, California. We completely enjoyed being in his studio while we quickly learned skills in observation, sketching and shading. We were thrilled with our drawings and will return when back in the area. In addition to learning while having fun, we also appreciated the ease and accuracy of the website and Rob's responsiveness to us as we checked out the Scribbles Institute. He is an artist and an excellent communicator that facilitated our decisions on classes as well as our own expressions of ourselves as artists. It was a lovely experience and I'd recommend Rob and The Scribbles Institute to any age and anyone.

He has the ability to take "non-drawers" and bring them through a series of exercises that allow them to find their artistic confidence in no time; at the same time he has no trouble keeping very artistic students challenged. His peaceful demeanor helps create a safe and quiet work space that is so much needed in today's society. His studio in the Sash Mill has the same feeling to it. Students are now going down there to draw on the weekends!
