What People Say about Alex

Alex is a top notch illustrator who delivers high quality work, on time and on budget. He is a gem and a pleasure to work with.
Alex's work as an illustrator and designer is exceptional. Having worked with Alex on several projects and promotional initiatives (at Mystus Interactus) I found that his talents as an artist are equaled by his professionalism and excellence as a team player. From what I've seen, Alex produces quality work on time and on budget.
...Alex is the most productive, and talented, sketch artist I've worked with.
I have known Alex Tavshunsky as an artist and a graphic designer. I work with him in "Maariv". Alex illustrated one of my books which was published in Hungary. He also designed the cover for one of my other books, which is due to be published soon. Alex is primarily known as a portrait-artist, and in that capacity he occupies a unique place in the newspaper. Not only do his portraits accurately reflect the model's appearance, they also reveal the essence of personal character. Above all, Alex is a friendly and open-hearted person, communication with him is easy and working with him is a pleasure.
Thanks Alex! Awesome stuff as usual!
