This personalised caricature was a gift for a 50th birthday last year. The subject is a Disney fan and loves travel, hence the Minnie Mouse ears and Eiffel Tower and the cruise ship in the background. She’s partial to a cocktail and also meticulous about cleaning, so the mop and apron was an in-joke from her family! Other references are Facebook with a signpost for Limerick and Dublin in the background. And of course a few balloons to mark the big day for good measure!

The Turfcutter!
This caricature brought back childhood memories of being in the bog (or the hill as we say in Donegal)! It features the subject in a Kerry GAA jersey with his Ford tractor in the background behind a HAPE of turf! I’m old enough to remember spade-dug turf, trying to catch clouds as they drifted in over us (and realising they weren’t the cotton wool substance I thought they were) and drinking sweet tea from vacuum flasks. My back remembers the days spent footing them. Drawing this was very evocative of those memories (probably some of my earliest).
Homebrew and Books!
This caricature was a gift for the couple pictured. He is wearing a Donegal GAA jersey and holding a pint of Guinness, she’s pictured with books 📚 (including Roald Dahl’s Matilda) and she’s having a glass of wine! 🍷 He’s got his laptop 💻 and phone and she’s got a mortarboard on as she’s a teacher! 👩🏫 In the background is a barrel of home brew about to explo- sitting there brewing. In the background are signposts for Longford, Inver, Carrick-on-Shannon and Galway and the couple’s car 🚗 is pictured too.
Going Away Gift Caricature
This caricature was a going-away gift for the subject from her colleagues in the bank she worked in.

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!”
Paella and Pie Eile!
This was a Christmas present for a couple living in Spain. They’re very into cooking Spanish and Irish cuisine hence my appalling pun in the headline of this post and in the background of the caricature! I’ve included other interests and references including baking, surfing, cycling, graphic design, and red wine! There’s also a box … Read more
