50th Birthday Gift Caricature

February 7, 2022May 10, 2021 by Allan

50th Birthday Gift Caricature: this piece went to Cork for a 50th birthday earlier this year. The birthday girl is surrounded by her pets including a cat, a pair of alsatians, a lamb and a chicken! The hand santiser has been a feature of several pieces I’ve done recently for some reason 😀
In the background is her house, a horse and the Trawler Boyz “rolling restaurant” she runs with her 3 sons (a familiar sight around Ballycotton I believe!)

This caricature was of a Cork farmer with his arm around one of his bovine buddies and the other arm around his kayak! He’s very into hurling and running and these are referenced with the hurl and sliothar and the muddy running shoes on the ground. In the background is the Ballycotton Lighthouse on Ballycotton Island in East Cork.
