Wedding Gift Caricature

24/01/2021 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!

This was another digital caricature that was a gift. It features the subject in his team gear with his guitar and his Wonderwall sheet music! He’s also got his “babies”, his basil and chilli plants! He’s pictured near one of the goals on a GAA pitch. A fun one to do!

These digital caricatures are completely designed around the customer. I can include practically anything in them, from pets to sports, from hobbies to very obscure references only the subject will get!

This was a birthday gift caricature for the pictured gentleman! He’s a writer with an interest in history, poetry, baking and coffee, and there’s plenty of coffee-making paraphenalia included! There’s also a quill and ink included in the foreground. The baking is represented by the tray of biscuits and the baker’s hat! He’s on the receiving end of computers and phones that need updating or repair, so I’ve included those too. He’s also a former hurler Also so I’ve included a hurley with his team’s colours (yellow and green). In the background you can see The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers. He’s also a fan of a glass of red wine! Last but not least his pet cat makes an appearance in the foreground, “looking after” his book of poetry.
