Looking forward to hearing you thoughts on this”

“I’ve attached a number of photographs for a couple’s caricature we’d like to order.
I was thinking of having a cow in the background and they’re both farmers and teachers, so maybe a sign next to the cow saying moo-inteoirí? And a signpost with Templetuohy and Killeagh. Their names are Philip and Aoife and the date of the wedding was 5/1/18. Also, would there be anywhere we could put in Cork and Tipperary colours? Templetuohy church in the background”

Engagement Present Idea
Email From Customer:
“I got a caricature picture from you a few months ago and loved it. Was hoping to get another one made if possible. They got engaged in Times Square so could you put that as the background? She’s a guard so could you have her wearing the uniform, and have him in a Mayo jersey?”
[I replied - For the Times Square background there will be billlboards, so we will need something on them. So can you think of some products that are relevant to the couple? I'll put a Mayo flag on one of them. Anything else you can think of?]
“Great idea with the billboards. So she is from Galway and he is from mayo , so you could have the 2 flags, or they are both very into Gaelic football so you could have a picture of Sam McGuire cup with both flags on it? I can't really think of any products, maybe Corona or Supermacs , she was big into rowing so maybe a picture of people rowing?
Could you try put an advert saying 'Mundy playing live tonight 18th march 2017 in Copperface jacks, with special guests Martha Coyne and Eoin Sweeney' if you could fit it!”

Work Leaving Present
Email From customer:
Hi Brendan, I hope you're well. My mum, boyfriend and I have all ordered caricatures from you recently and I am hoping to do the same again for a work colleague. Unfortunately the turnaround is quite tight as it would be needed in our city centre Dublin office for next Friday .
Julie works in our events team and is leaving after 16 years. She has always worked with our company merchandise and brand hence the references below!
· Two photos attached of Julie – she has green eyes.
· Cream or white top, navy trousers.
· A white swipe card for work hanging from her belt with the attached AL green symbol on it.
· Holding a large glass of gin and tonic.
· An open or closed golf umbrella.
Our office is along the Liffey beside the Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin so if it was possible to put the bridge or at least the river in the background that would be great.
· An Emirates plane in the sky (not too large)

“That looks great Brendan. Her smile in particular is spot on” - Ruth

Present For Husband (Celebrating a work milestone)
Email From Customer
“Hi Brendan. My husband Paul works as a agent for Irish Pride & Barrons Bakery - in the past he’s also worked for Lenihans Bakery - I have a few photos of his vans with labels on them and one of Barrons Bakery & the man himself -hopefully these will help. its 25 years that Paul will have been working as a breadman. This is to celebrate that milestone”
[To do the background I googled “Barrons Bakery” and got a Google Streetview angle where the side of the shop was visible, with the sign painted on the side. So I did the Irish Pride van parked on the path, with Barrons in view behind]
Finished Cartoon:
“Brendan, a million thank you's for the fantastic caricature. Paul was amazed & lost for words when he saw it - it is taking pride of place in our kitchen. Thank you again” - Liesl
Engagement Present Idea
Email From Customer
“It's an engagement caricature I'm looking for. I have attached the photos, you can let me know if you need better ones or not. I have also attached a photo of him with his team mates it's the only photo of him with the goalie jersey. It’s the white with number one on it.
So I was thinking could you do beach background him down on knee with ring and with jersey on and maybe a hurley and helmet somewhere in it. Would it be possible to put the black top on her that she is actually wearing in the picture and white leggins because that’s what she was wearing on the day.
Could I get the date put in 21st of May 2018 and the place Torrevieja, Spain somewhere, or put in “congratulations on your engagement”. I will get the A3 size”
