Live Caricatures at Drinks Reception (The Heritage Hotel Killenard)

Caricatures, the keepsake that nobody ever throws away!

Thanks to Emma & Richie for having me as part of their big day.

Engagement Present for a couple who got engaged abroad

For this one I did a collage of landmarks for the background

If you would like one of these, just send me a couple of photos where I can see the faces clearly

I’ll reply with sketches.

If you like the sketches we can continue with the rest of the drawing

I’ll send you drafts as I work on it

Comes framed or on a canvas

Takes about 2 weeks to complete

60th Birthday Gift. Framed Caricature

“Basically what we are looking for is.... (will leave it to you to figure what you can/cant include in it ok)...a background picture of a pickleball court (which is the same as a tennis court & we play it indoors in our local Community Centre) - so it would be like an indoor badminton/tennis court  with a net on floor level with two serving boxes either side of the court.  If we could have 4 of the ladies (in pics attached) playing on it and Phil (the birthday lady!) on one side in an 'action shot' (exaggerated if you can) of her hitting the ball and she standing in the dead centre between the two top boxes, quite near the actual net, with a leg on either side of the vertical line down the middle...she has a habit of 'not staying in her own box' & entering the 'no go zone area'  close to the net..ha!ha! so we want to 'wind her up' on this bit.  Then if you could use your creative ability to create cartoon pics of the other three ladies playing with appropriate expressions on their faces,  two on either side, with one lady at the back of Phil's court and the other two ladies on opposite side in each of their own respective boxes anywhere. I know this sounds like a very tall order Brendan but I have every faith in you and if you take a look on 'you-tube' or F/book page of Pickleball Ireland you will get a real feel for what I'm talking about (it is a relatively new game to Ireland ok).  Now since we have 5 ladies to include altogether we were thinking you could put the extra one (me perhaps?) as a 'referee' on the far side of the court standing on a plastic chair either 'shaking' or 'blowing' her whistle in the direction of Phil. 

Finally then a 'header' or 'footer with Happy 60th Birthday from the Pickleball gals on the banner or whatever you think would work”

Engagement Present Framed Caricature

“The couple (Denis and Cliona) got engaged on a mountain walk and he had a sign on the dog, I was thinking if you could have it that the background resembles a mountain type walk, tall trees etc and have Denis down on one knee in the pic” - Rachel

50th Birthday Present for husband

“Hi I’d like to arrange a 50th gift for my husband. I’m thinking I’d like a framed picture. And I’ve seen a large picture before with a few pictures caricatured - would this be something you could do or is it more a pic of a moment like your website examples? Thanks! Aisling”

A montage of scenes? Yes I can certainly do that.

Caricature Gift For Parents

“If you could put him in a shannonbridge jersey and her in a castlemitchell jersey that would be great. I’ve added pictures of them here.

He’s a builder and she’s a nurse if that helps.

She drinks bottles of Heineken and he drinks pints of Guinness.

Doyle’s bar in athy in the background would be good.”

Retirement Gift

"Hi Brendan

I love your work and think it will be a great gift. It is for the principal of the school I work in. I saw some of your retirement pieces on your website and if possible I was thinking of the principal with a desk or bookcase in the background in an office setting. Would it be possible to include some symbols or images of our school and of the organisations that she would have worked with over the years also? For example the INTO, IPPN, NCSE etc along with our school crest? I have attached some photographs of her"
