Engagement Present Ideas

I received mostly engagement-themed orders in February.  Customers asking for those tend to lean more towards wanting a "treasured keepsake" rather than "crazy cartoon". But I also got a few comedy requests - one running an Iron Man holding a selfie stick and bottle of Heineken, and one dressed up in SCUBA gear in front of a tractor on the beach.

Whatever the scenario is, if you can describe it (and it isn't too rude!) then we can usually get it into the cartoon.

“That looks perfect” - Janice

“Thanks so much Brendan. Brilliant” - John

Many thanks. It’s great” - Grace

“That's fantastic we love it thanks a million” - Orla

Birthday gift ideas for brother, and unique engagement presents

This month I had my first ever request to include a drone flying over the wedding scene. I expect that will eventually be a popular element in the wedding cartoons as drone photography becomes a thing. 

Also had the first order where the customer asked for a dinosaur in the background, stomping around on Inisbofin. More of a niche requirement that one it's fair to say.

As always, thanks to everyone who ordered cartoons. These were a joy to work on. I can't say I'm ever bored. 

“Thanks so much, she's going to love this” - Emma

“I received it today Brendan. It’s brilliant, thanks for the great service and getting it to me today!” - Sandra

“Just wanted to let you know that Tom was absolutely delighted with the caricature”- Terri

“Hi Brendan. That’s very good. They will love it” -Eric
