Liverpool FC Vs Dublin GAA Wedding!

March 14, 2022November 28, 2021 by Allan

This sports-themed caricature was for a wedding celebration in Dublin recently. The couple had gotten married earlier in the year during restrictions so they had the wedding party later in the year when they were able to have guests again. The benefit of this was that I was able to work off their actual wedding photos! The bride is wearing a Liverpool FC top, with her foot on a soccer ball, while the groom is wearing a Dublin GAA jersey and holding a hurl with a sliotar nearby!

Wedding Gift Caricature

January 24, 2021 by Allan

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!
