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”

40th Birthday Present From Family (Background is Malahide Marina)
Order Details:
“We're going to go with an A3 colour caricature please - it's for my sister Denise's 40th Birthday. I've attached a few photos of her, are they enough for you to work with?
The following are a few personal touches that we would like you to incorporate if possible:
• 'Malahide Marina' in the background - as in a few boats and a sign for it;
• Signpost with 'Swords' going one way and 'Fab Forties' going another;
• Denise wearing a Dublin jersey with a Gin & Tonic in one hand and a tub of popcorn in the other!
• The text 'Happy 40th Birthday Denny' across the top and 'Lots of Love Mum & Dad xx' at the bottom - as in one of the examples you sent for someone called Lucy;
• Now this is a long shot but if you could put a small Roy Keane in the pic somewhere in a Man U jersey with a Red Panda on a lead that'd be perfect - don't ask!! 😊😊”
[I couldn’t put Roy Keane in the cartoon as that would be a copyright issue. Instead I did a Man U jersey on the panda and a hat with “KEANO” on it]

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?
