Caricatures From Christmas 2020
What a Christmas that was. With the COVID restrictions we were all only able to jingle some of the way. Thanks to all the customers who ordered something from me. A few examples below
Gift Cartoons With Sports Jerseys, Pets, and Superhero Costumes
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENT ARE IN: Selling photos of my feet to weirdos on the internet does not seem to work as a business? Gutted.
Abandoning that idea so. Continuing with the gift caricatures for the time being. Examples below
Caricature Commissions
What Are These?
Framed cartoons of people you know, with the faces drawn based on photos you send me
What Are They For?
To give as an Engagement Present, or maybe for their Birthday or Housewarming
How Can I Get One?
Caricature Engagement & Graduation Gifts
A few favourites from last year. Done while hiding from Covid, in between Zoom quizzes and liking photos of everyone's sourdough bread.
A couple of engagement presents, a birthday and a graduation.
Gift Caricature Commissions
Here are some commissions I did. The faces were all drawn from photos people sent me.
Each customer approves the faces before we continue with the rest of the drawing.
Everything is arranged over email or via Facebook messages
Payment can be done online, cheque/postal order, or barter (7 live chickens for a standard colour cartoon)
And everyone will think you’re great for giving such an original present!
Couples Caricatures
Some of the couples cartoons I’ve done lately, for engagement and housewarming presents. Usually ready and delivered to you in less than 2 weeks. You just need to email me a few photos of them that I can work from. I can include any ideas you have to personalize the drawing, or if you don’t have any ideas I can usually suggest a few things.
Housewarming Present for newly engaged couple
This was an engagement/housewarming present for a couple.
In the background is their new house, and then we got in a few references to personalise it such as a Playstation controller, an x-ray, a glass of gin, Asos shopping bags etc. And a signpost with some relevant place names.
You come up the the suggestions for what to include and and I’ll do the drawing! If you can’t think of anything I have tons of previous cartoons you can use for inspiration
