retirement caricature well received

retirement caricature happyHere is a chap called Randy who was presented with a caricature as a farewell gift from his organisation.

As you can see he is very happy with his gift (lucky it was not a watch I guess!)

Artist Zalo worked from supplied pictures and this description:

Randy’s passions are golf (if only he didn’t have to work!), & anything to do with the University of Texas & their team, the Longhorns.  He is a natural politician, the King of Schmooze, and was actually elected the youngest Justice of the Peace in Texas history (at the time).  He is VERY jolly & congenial & well liked by (most) everyone he meets.

At the draft stage this was the response from the client:

Oh, Matt, that is a riot!  It is SO him, especially the outstretched hand!  SUCH a politician!

And after the final printed and framed caricature was delivered:

Hi, Matt!  We had Randy’s roast last Thursday night, & it was a wonderful success.  Attached is the picture of the presentation, and one of Randy, the Board President & my boss (who’s also the CEO).  He LOVED the caricature, & everyone there said that the artist captured him absolutely.  Thanx so much for the awesome picture & fabulous service!!

Friends caricature

When you are very close to a friend and work or other circumstances forces you apart in the physical sense, its nice to know the bonds of friendship will remain.

Imagine if your friend is getting married and you are part of the wedding preparations!!

This was the situation facing Katie…so what a great idea in getting a caricature that showed all was well and plans would still progress, despite the fact now each lived in different cities.

The result is a fun caricature that was sooo well received.

And Kaitie’s comment….

I LOVE IT…thank you so much!  Please pass along my thanks to Zalo…it turned out just perfect!

Customer with their caricature

While we can sometime meet very demanding deadlines, sometimes our customers show just how quick they can be. This customer picture was sent to us within 24 hours of us emailing it to the customer.

As you can see they have used an attractive wooden frame to show of the caricature of the subject who is about to retire and spend time traveling and playing golf.

Zalo was the artist.

And the customer’s comment?

Thank you so much for helping me get such a great last minute gift for my dad’s retirement. It was definitely something he never expected! Zalo did a great job - it’s even better than I hoped it would be. And the customer service I got from Matt was fantastic! I’ll certainly recommend caricatureking.com to my friends and family.

Here’s a picture of my dad with his caricature.

Thanks again!

Caricature wedding invitation

Inviting people to your wedding can be quite a formal exercise. It can be very refined, conservative linen card with silver or gold embossed writing.

However, it can also take on some fun, like this couple have achieved with their caricature wedding invitations.

Note - surnames have been deliberately smudged

Still refined this caricature by artist Zalo will still look great with silver or gold embossed lettering, but also has the advantage to say “Hey! We are a fun couple and our wedding is going to be great!”

Gift caricature for TPYO girls

Here is a commissioned caricature drawn recently completed by Zalo. The brief was to have the two girls looking like they have been hard at work writing a ‘For Dummies’ book on their laptop. The papers and coffee mugs indicate the drafts and time spent and a cameo appearance by the Dummies Man!

After once draft stage, artist Zalo produced this final caricature of writers. As you can see, there is attention to specific details in this gift caricature, like the eyebrow piercings and the green ball the girl on the left is sitting on. Oh and TPYO is just the way the client wanted it ;)
