The First Caricature Commission I ever did (in 2008)

Years ago I used to have an old website to put my random sketches on, and then one evening in July 2008 I got an email

Hi Brendan,

I was just looking at your drawings on your website, and I was wondering would you be able to do a caricature of myself and the missus? If you can do it I will send you pics of the two of us and an outline of the style we would like it. It will be us with hurleys about to clash them,in our wedding outfits.

regards,

Paul

And so I ended up drawing this cartoon.

It doesn’t really look much like my current work. I’ve learned a lot since then. But I still think it stands up as a good wedding caricature.


Afterwards I received a note
