My daughter recently expressed in interest in hanging it in her home. It really needed cleaning and repair. Though I thought that I would have to take it to San Francisco for restoration, a Yelp search for the Sacramento Valley area returned a hit for Fine Art Artist. I contacted Ghanim and he offered to come see my painting and estimate repairs and cleaning costs. Ghanim is a very pleasant person who gave me the impression that he really knew how to do the job for me. He not only holds a Master of Fine Arts and is an artist of note in his country, but took special training in art restotation in Italy. But, most important to me, he really was excited and interested in restoring my painting. The work was completed in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable price. Ghanim drove out to my daughter's home to complete the framing and frame cleaning. I am really delighted in the quality of his craftsmanship. The tears are seamlessly repaired, the flocked paper collage pieces have been masterfully restored and the colors are so much more vibrant and appealing. You can trust Ghanim with your most valuable canvas treasures. He will proudly restore them to your walls for everyone to enjoy.

Excellent restoration work for a very reasonable price and the finished result exceeded my…read moreexpectations. The color matching was impressive, the repair is solid, and the artwork looks great on display. Professional, responsive, and highly recommended! I'm very pleased with the outcome.

That's how real his art feels--like it reaches out and grabs something deep within you. His paintings are so stunningly realistic, it's hard to tell where the photo ends and the brushwork begins. Matt's talent is undeniable, and his work is nothing short of extraordinary.

I had so many people tell me how fun not only the caricature drawings were but how fun Jon was as well! It was one of the best parts of the wedding and we are so thankful for these memories.

He is well worth the price he charges (which is very reasonable!), his work quality is impeccable and he was so friendly and easy to work with. We weren't sure how popular a caricature artist would be at our wedding since most of the guests were older. Jon was a TOTAL HIT! Literally every single guest had their caricature drawn, and at the end of the night everyone was RAVING about how amazing and fun he was! He made the guests feel very comfortable and actually asked guests if they wanted a specific theme or style to their drawings which was really nice. All the caricatures were also fairly flattering and true to form. Nothing was overly mean or exaggerated like some artists draw which is perfect for an event like a wedding. During the event, Jon connected up a webcam and streamed his work to a TV (which is all part of his typical set-up) so that people waiting or nearby can watch as he draws. This was a really nice touch as it provided some entertainment for everyone and also is a great way to get people interested in having their caricatures drawn! Jon himself is an absolute pleasure. He is so friendly and sociable. He got along well with all of the guests and he was so fun to work with in person. All in all, everyone loved Jon. He was practically the only thing our guests talked about it because they were so excited by it. Logistically, Jon is easy to work with, and I was able to set up everything through email. He offers several different packages to meet different needs and price points which is very nice. He also allows you to pick a border or logo to have printed onto the paper if you want. On the day of, he brings absolutely everything he needs. All you need to do is supply him an area and some power. He even has his own tent if it's an outside event and raining. He offers several suggestions / means to deal with line control as well. Since we had a smaller group, we opted to have people just line up or jump in when there was an opening. He can also do a ticket system or a signup sheet with times if that may work better for you. Jon was also really flexible. We weren't sure what time to have him come as it depended on the weather, and he was perfectly ok with a last minute decision. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jon to anyone looking for some entertainment for their event! He is an AMAZING caricature artist and is really wonderful to work with.

But Barry has developed a clientele of some very talented individuals themselves who have profited immensely from his advice. Heck even I learned something new from Barry after visiting his studio myself, and that's saying something, since he has always been so much better than me, (as a painter) -and I'm a hard case, anyway. The studio is pleasant and everyone who's come to learn gets a space of their own to work in, and it's right thar on the main drag o' the ol' Mother Lode front.

This is my second time visiting this really awesome store, and I love it more every time! There are…read moreso many different options, and you can find something for just about everyone. Last Christmas, I came looking for something special for my newest granddaughter. I found the cutest purple sloth and a sweet book called Good Night, Sloth. Unfortunately, my granddaughter loved her purple sloth a little too much and managed to mess it up! So, when I came back to Folsom, I knew I had to look for another purple sloth. They are so popular that the purple sloth is currently on backorder, but I found this big, super-soft sloth instead. It's actually an upgrade and will be perfect for her! My other daughter is expecting her first baby--a little boy! So, of course, we had to do some baby shopping. We found some adorable finger-puppet books and a Warmies dinosaur. So many cute things! But this store offers so much more than baby items. You can find things for your kitchen, bedroom, dining room, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and so much more. There are unique gifts everywhere you look. I absolutely love browsing here! I only wish I lived a little closer. I live in Nevada, but whenever I come to California to visit my daughter, we're definitely going to make a day trip to Folsom. It's so close to her, and this store is always worth the trip. The people here are awesome, too! They even offered us some homemade cinnamon rolls, and they were AMAZING! The prices are very reasonable, and they also offer a military discount, which is a wonderful bonus. If you're in Folsom, California, make sure you stop by Not Too Shabby on Sutter Street. You won't be disappointed! This is definitely a place to shop when you're looking for something unique, fun, and special. I can't wait to come back!

The team there did a superb job from appointment setting to completion. We were fortunate that they happened to have on hand another Honda CRV wheel available that had been powder coated so we could see the actual color and texture when it would be completed. We are very happy with the price, the service, the quality of work performed, and the professionalism of the entire team there. Car was held securely for two days, and communications were excellent. I would be remiss if I didn't note that our in-laws, who purchased a 2025 CRV similar to ours shortly after we bought ours, brought their car in the following week to have their wheels done, as well, and they share our sentiment that this was a great investment. We couldn't be happier. Well done!
