Absolutely Brilliant! The caricature artist was truly outstanding – he completely captured what I see in the subject and more, with an amazing attention to detail and creativity. It’s like he could see exactly what I was imagining but better. The final piece was not only accurate but full of character and charm. Brilliant work – couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend! It is well worth the money and a timeless piece of art.

Well what can I say about Allan..absolutely amazing! We hired him recently for our wedding day & ordered a signing board as you can see for our guests. We took 1 look at board & said nope no1’s writing on it! We’ve just bought our first home together & know exactly where to put it! From start to finish he was fantastic!He never stopped the entire time he was with us, the queue of people waiting never died down. He was fast, professional & great craic; he got a lot of laughs out of our guests. People are still sending me pictures of their drawings saying they loved them! Our only regret is not getting a chance to sit down & get ours done again! I would highly recommend hiring Allan! He made our special day so much brighter! Thanks again!

Allan did a great caricature of my brother for a retirement present. My brother loved it; it's a fun alternative to a gift. It was so easy to order by sending a photo and an explanation of what was added to the photo. I loved the option to receive it digitally. Would highly recommend Allan's work

We had the absolute pleasure of having Allan at our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better addition to the day! Our guests loved the caricatures—there was a constant line of eager smiles, and people showing off their portraits. He captured everyone's personality with charm and creativity! It was the perfect icebreaker and left everyone with a unique keepsake to take home. Allan blended in seamlessly with the event and added a joyful energy to the atmosphere. Not only a great artist, but a funny and personable character who really made an effort with our guests. Highly recommend for any event—you won’t regret it!

An incredible experience. Allan provides an excellent service and through the simple questions asked he surpassed my expectations. The surprise on my friends face when presenting it to her was incredible . The likeness was uncanny and the details, finish and layout was just perfect. The whole experience from initial inquiry to submission , payment and delivery it was stress free and delivery a few days ahead of deadline Can’t wait to use Allan’s services again.

Allan created a caricature/portrait for my colleagues and I, of our boss, who is celebrating a round-y birthday. We all loved it when it arrived and thankfully HE loved it when he opened it this morning! The excitement was easy to use and delivery was spot on. Thanks a million Allan. Continued success to you.

We had Allan at our Wedding in the Sligo Park Hotel in April and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He really added to the day and it was great for the guests to have something to take home with them to remember the day. Allan encouraged everyone to get involved and we were thrilled to have him as part of our day.

We booked Allan for our wedding on April 19th 2025 and we are at a loss for words by how incredible he was. All of the guests are still talking about how good (and incredibly quick) he was at his art and how they loved that they got to take home their own caricature. I think it shocked everyone how good Allan truly was and how each caricature really brought out the features of each individual that you really knew who each caricature was. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding reception. We can not thank Allan enough. He is such a down to earth guy, so so lovely. He fit right in with our guests and was well able to have laughs with each and everyone of them which is just what we wanted. We highly recommend Allan if you are looking for a different kind of entertainment for your wedding.

We had Allan at our wedding reception at the start of April and he was absolutely fantastic. He was so easy to deal with in the run up to the wedding also, totally fuss free! Our guests all loved him and commented how unique he was and his amazing caricatures created a buzz around the reception. He had people queuing up for him and he was kind enough to stay behind for a couple of extra minutes to do a caricature for my young cousin. I couldn’t recommend Allan enough, him and his caricatures added such a personal touch to our special day! He really was amazing!

I booked Allan for a gift for my Sister and her Husband for theire Ruby Wedding Anniversary.
When I arrived on Thursday morning so carefully wrapped & packaged by courier, I was thrilled with the result and couldn’t wait to show it to my family who were all blown away!
We gave it to them last night at a surprise party and they were absolutely delighted! My Sister immediately took down an old painting and hung the caricature in its place prominently in the kitchen. She says it will make her smile every day! So thank you Allan. Delighted!
