Caricature for a 40th wedding anniversary present!

Allan — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:29:49 +0000

Here’s a caricature I recently completed for a 30th wedding anniversary. I got a good long list of interests from the client so I’d plenty to play with in the details I added!
You can me if you’d like to enquire about ordering one of my custom caricatures!

Present for a Barrister- eile!

Here’s a present for a barrister I drew before Christmas. It was an unusual order as the client wanted it printed on canvas. I used The Canvas Works in Cork, and the client was very happy with the result. It’s not the first time I’ve drawn an Irish barrister!

Gift Caricature for a retirement

Allan — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:55:16 +0000

Here’s a recent piece that was a present for a retirement. I love when I get a list of yarns about the subject that I can then incorporate into the finished piece. They’re jokes that only a few people will get, they’re the ultimate in joke!

There’s still time to order a gift caricature for Christmas. You can me for details.

Here’s a caricature I drew for a 70th birthday present last week. Again you can see how customisable these are and what makes them great presents. Caricatures make an unique gift for birthdays, anniversaries or retirements.

A series of caricatures and Twitter as company on long jobs!

Allan — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 00:00:58 +0000

Here’s a sequence of caricatures I did last week for a surprise 60th birthday party. Each one tells the story of an aspect of the subject’s life, such as his family life and interest in the nags and dogs. They were part of a presentation made by his son for a presentation on his life, a cartoon version of This Is Your Life in fact. Each piece was also framed and presented to him.
I worked late into the night to get these done, and that’s often a very lonely experience, and I usually go a bit mad at some point when I’m doing very late ones. This time though I had Twitter open, and it was actually good company and made it easier to keep going. @Eolai, who’s a painter (and is having a sale of work at the moment, check them out) was doing an all-nighter too, so we were having cups of tea and stepping back to look at the work and generally chatting. @Midnightcourt was on a late one as well, preparing his briefs or washing his briefs or whatever he was doing, and popped in for a chat. When I got up the next morning @ElaineEdwards had checked in on us around 7am to see if we’d gotten finished.
Late ones aren’t particularly a favourite thing to do, but having company, even virtual company on Twitter, really helped.
I believe the party went well, and thankfully the caricatures arrived in one piece (tip: NEVER write “fragile” on fragile items when posting, no matter how well packaged!).

Caricature for a present

Allan — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:52:39 +0000

Caricature that was a present for a barrister in Dublin. Love the little details that were suggested for him, like the copy of the Rules of the Superior Courts he’s holding!
