Engagement Present Caricature (Eyre Square, Galway)

ENQUIRY FROM CUSTOMER:

"I am looking for an engagement caricature unframed please? I have gotten one of these off you before and thought it was brilliant. People loved it! so this time, I'd love to get one for my sister and her fiance please? I have ideas of certain things to go into the picture to represent them in a funny and personal way. Let me know if this is something that you can do for me please whenever you can.
thanks a mill"

 

ORDER DETAILS:

"So Imelda is very stylish so maybe Imelda in a dress and high heels. She is a teacher- I saw on your website that you had a blackboard behind a girl so that would be nice behind Imelda. Their wedding date is set for 27th July 2018 so maybe this date on the blackboard please? 

She also loves shopping, so maybe some shopping bags with the logos of ‘Penney’s’, ‘warehouse’ and maybe a bag from ‘Elverys’ with some runners/gym gear popping out( she’s very fit and active you see!!). She is very into healthy eating so if possible a head of broccoli/lettuce/ any veg really, popping out of another bag!maybe these bags could be on the ground? Or wherever you think they would go best?

Stephen is from Tipperary, so can you put him in a Tipperary Gaa Jersey. He’s an electrician so some electrician trousers on him a screwdriver/pliers coming out of one of the pockets. He also has a bad right knee, so could you put a bandage wrapped around the outside of his right knee on his trouser leg please, and him on bended knee on this knee proposing please? I'll send on a pic of the ring for you to see it.

Lastly can you put a signpost in it please with 3 signs coming off it-one reading ‘Loughrea’, another reading ‘Rosegreen’ and the last one reading ‘Fota’( this is where they got engaged!) 

I hope you don’t mind all my specifics!!

Could you put a backdrop of Galway city please? Maybe to put the fountain of the Galway hooker in Eyre Square and Eyre Square theme? Grass, fountain etc., and then the signpost there"

 

FINISHED CARICATURE:
