Unusual Engagement Present Idea

Email From Customer:

“Many thanks for your reply re my friend's engagement present. I am attaching some pictures of them both and also of the background where the engagement took place.

I am wondering if it is possible to include a sign post pointing to Mallow, Ballinascarthy, Myrtle Beach and Galway in it? (Significant places that they met and lived etc)

They are both quite sporty and active aswell? Marie in a red top as it is her team colour.

And would you be able to include the date that Marie and Conor got engaged somewhere as well please (maybe at the bottom of the pic?) 21/07/2018”

Birthday Gift for Partner

Email From Customer:

“I would like to order a glossy A3 print for my partner as a birthday gift. He is Superdad and family man with 2 crazy boys. I would like to have Terry with the boys in the picture. His biggest passion is travelling. He likes to surprise us with unexpected trips. Furthermore he likes to go on hikes in mountains and as a family we often go to the beach. He likes to watch old (Western) movies. He works as an engineer.


I would like a caricature of Terry with the lads. Maybe as an old movie style cowboy on the beach with the boys somewhere? 
I have not a creative mind at all but I hope I gave you enough information to think of something”
