This client wanted to have the caricature look like it was a clipping from an old wild west newspaper.

The ‘victim’ is a school teacher who held old fashioned values, and many students (and I suppose some staff) probably thought his attitudes were old - like circa 1880, so the decision was made to play on this.

The result, I think you will agree is pretty special. This is a full body with background in BW, plus a slight premium for that amazing detailing.

Show your support for Barack Obama and wear a great apparel item with a caricature portrait created by our talented artist Zalo.

We have loaded up the image onto clothing items at Cafepress, so ordering is a snap. Check them out here.

We also have this same image available as a limited edition print in an attractive frame.

We will only be making 100 of these available, so their uniqueness will never be diluted. The price is just $190 including delivery to mainland US states. Please click here to order.

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.

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.

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.
