Wedding Gift Caricature - Slacklining

Sometimes the customer comes up with the creative gift ideas themselves. They just need me to do the drawing. I had never heard of slacklining until I received this message.

Order Details:

“Our friend Brent is a world class slackliner so it’s very important we can capture this in the picture. I have added the scenery of the slacklining he does, so I was hoping you could put him on it with Benita possibly sitting on it or at the side etc. They also have a dog that is their baby so is it possible to get him added ? I have added pictures of them both. Benita can be in a simple white wedding dress”

“Absolutely perfect! Love it” - Elaine

Hen Party Caricature

Order Details:

“Can we put her on horseback, with just a veil for the bride bit streaming out behind her, as if she was in a horse race. She should be wearing red and white colours on her riding jacket , but instead of a whip in her hand a mobile phone .

Behind on the side she is riding from, a betting board and bookie. The bookie should have his back to us but be bald and have diving flippers instead of shoes! She should be riding towards a bit of the Cork coastline, sea hills etc, and there should be the temple on the top. Is that all possible?”

"It's arrived Brendan . Thank you so much , pleasure as always." - Celine
