Unique Wedding Present Idea
Email From Customer:
“So the guys are married a few months. Cormac he's a successful musician/DJ/producer (under DJ Kormac / Kormac's Big Band). Triona is a sales Director in the Conrad (who recently won a big award so any kinda cup would be good), loves wine. Would be deadly if you could put a gangsta gold chain on Triona with 'T' on it”
The background is the courtyard of Trinity College Dublin, with the chapel behind. I did the wedding date in a chalk effect on the cobblestones, in front of the couple.
Customer ordered the Glossy A3 (12x16 inch) unframed.

Personalized Wedding Present
Message from customer:
“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”

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 Cartoon Clontarf Seafront
Email from customer:
“I would like to get a caricature done for two friends of mine that have recently gotten engaged.
They got engaged at the seafront in Clontarf in Dublin so I was thinking of maybe having that in the background along with a bench with a heart engraved on the bench with Joy and Des (their names) on it. If you think that would work?
I was thinking of something a little different and not have them posing together as a couple but maybe instead have them separate? Joy is a dancer (ex ballerina) so I was thinking maybe she could be pirouetting in the foreground of the picture (or even better, on the bench!)
I know that probably sounds a bit mad so I’m open to suggestions on what you think would work best – I would just prefer to have something a little different to them just standing side by side if that makes sense”
Finished Caricature:
“Just to let you know I received the print this morning, I’m delighted with it. Thanks again for all your patience on this one! I have given your details to a few friends so hopefully you will hear from them!” - Yvonne

Hi Lisa. Those are copyrighted characters you mentioned so we are not allowed to use them in a drawing. But I could do the bride with a jar of honey. And I could put their family name in the clouds similar to the way it appears at the start of The Simpsons?
Finished Cartoon:
“Thanks very much for doing the picture. Received it today...
You did a fantastic job & I absolutely love it. Can't wait till my friend sees it :)
Fab work & I will recommend you to anyone
