Caricature races to a winning position

Caricatures are not often ‘racy’ but here is a racing fast caricature by Rick. The brief was fairly straightforward - “show the man in one photo driving the racing car in the other” Rick can up with the background which the client also loved

The picture is absolutely perfect!! Rick, you did an awesome job. I will definitely take a picture of Paul with his caricature on the day of his party. He is so going to get a kick out of the caricature and we would love to post it on your website. Can’t wait for him to see it at his retirement party!!

Caricatures are very versatile. They make ideal gifts just as Paul is about to find out!

Father’s Day Caricature gift

custom caricature for fathers day Here is a fun caricature created by Zalo for a gift. The image shows a father and his son who have a hot rodding business.

Part of the brief was to include their barn/shop, the business name and the family crest, plus to show the two men in a fun way that showed the car going fast.

In this case Matt from Caricature King did a rough stick figure concept (yeah that’s all I can draw!!) which was approved prior to the first draft based on that being supplied to the client.

Here is the feedback from the client:

Matt,

I absolutely love it! Please send Zalo my sincere thanks and appreciation for a wonderful caricature. This will be the best Father’s Day gift that I’ve given my husband yet. He’s going to be blown away. Zalo is so talented. I only wish I had one ounce of that talent….then my pictures might resemble people instead of stick figures J

I’ll be happy to email you back once I give them their gifts on June 15th to let you know their reaction so you can pass that feedback along to Zalo. As for me, I couldn’t be happier with it. Your customer service and ordering process is great. This being my second order, both orders went off flawlessly and I have no complaints. I think you handle things very well.

Again, I’ll be sure to email you with Eric and Earl’s reaction to the print after I give it to them. I’ll take a picture of both of them holding it for your website.

Thank you so much, Matt! I can’t wait to give them this gift.

Need a portrait, not a caricature?

On occasions a caricature is not the right thing, but a portrait is more ideal.

Here is a portrait by Zalo based on an old photo.

The flag is an addition.

Retirement caricature signature board

Here is a great shot of Dale and Dorothy with their caricature drawn by artist Zalo that was given to them by their daughter as a signature board.

signature board

As you can see she had it printed on a large sheet of heavy paper that people at the retirement even could sign.

These sign-in boards and gifts that can be signed are very popular. We have just made some special arrangements with our US framer to be able to supply a print and frame package that allows the glass to be easily removed thus allowing guests and colleagues to be able to sign on the matting. After the event the glass is simply placed back into the frame for a lasting gift.

If you would like to create a signature board  gift, feel free to browse our artists and then contact me with any questions.
