40th Birthday Gift Caricature – Lord of the Dance!
This caricature was a 40th Birthday gift for the subject. He’s wearing a Coventry jersey and holding a Donegal GAA scarf. He’s got a Lord of the Dance connection so I’ve drawn him in full flight! I got lovely feedback from my customer too:
“Thank you so much! I really didnt expect it to be done that quick.
It is brilliant, such a good job. He is going to love it!”
Pet Dog Caricature Portrait
This pet dog caricature portrait was a Christmas gift commemorating a cherished pet who had passed away during the year. It was lovely to do and was very well received. It was executed in pencil, Pitt Pen and graphite on paper. I had one photo to work from but the dog’s personality really shone through and I could tell he’d been a cherished member of their family. I’ve commemorated several family pets this way, including pets that weren’t around at the same time but that their owner wanted them all depicted together. It’s a very special bond people can have with their pets.

Wedding Gift Caricature
This caricature was a wedding gift for a wedding last year and was put on display for the arrival of the bride and groom! The bride is wearing a Kerry jersey, and the groom has a Kerry bandana around his neck. It features signposts for Shrone, Killorglin and Dublin. Also included are the Sunday Times, a pilates mat, a GAA football and references to other sports including golf, rugby, badminton, tennis and hurling. And a cup of herbal tea! In the background is a vintage wedding car with cans on the back and the bride and groom’s initials on the number plate with a loveheart.
Weddings will be back in a big way later this year so if you’re going to one and you’re looking for a really special personalised wedding gift drop me a line!
