Caricatures can be used for a whole range of uses. Have a browse through this blog to see caricatures that have been used as retirement gifts, wedding gifts, birthday gifts, groomsmen gifts, graduation gifts and more…

We have also created caricatures for book covers, book illustrations, board game box covers, and inserts in beer taps.

Here is one we have produced for wine labels. These are going on bottles of wine for a charity fundraising event. The artis was Brian, and you can see here, first time on this site, his hand drawn coloured pencil style!

Caricature art for wine labels can be used for fundraising, wedding wines, or even commercial wine label design.

This amazing hiker caricature is another sample of work from artist Nathan. This is a detailed BW job that has great detail in a job that maintains overall simplicity. If you would like Nathan to do a caricature for you, he is available!!

This is a bit of a conundrum question because first we need to establish that a caricature is in fact a piece of art.

It is interesting that people will often depreciate a caricature, not comparing it to say a portrait or other artwork. In fact many caricatures take just as long and in some cases a bit longer owing to the thought that is placed into the selection of photos to use as the basis for the art and the thought and work to create the often additional inclusions of the artwork.

So with that behind us, let me tell you when a caricature is NOT a piece of art.

It all has to do with the final use. In the case of Caricature King caricatures it is important to think of them as not a piece of art (when in fact they are) but as something else….

They are in fact an emotion. Like Dr Who traveling in time, so the emotion of a caricature is both subtle and complex and interspersed over a period of time.

> Time-frame one. The design stage is when emotion of a number of people is involved. First, once the decision to create a caricature is made, there is the thought as to what to include in it. Here there is excitement, discovery and creativity both on the part of the person ordering the caricature, but also the team at Caricature King who often help the customer realize hidden aspects, which are used to add extra subtlety and complexity to the art.

> Time-frame two. The joy of seeing the finished product and anticipation of the giving. This stage maybe be shared with family or work colleagues adding to the pensive excitement!

> Time-frame three. The giving. Here there is a wide range of emotions from nervous excitement, discovery, uncertainty, amazement, joy expressed as laughter, relief, congratulation (to the person who’s wonderful idea it was!) and happiness.

Yes, a caricature is an emotional investment in a gift. This cannot be matched by just about any other gift because a caricature is unique, it s personal, it shows a level of thought and ingenuity that it recognized and appreciated by the recipient.

So is a caricature a piece of art? Of course, but it is soooo much more!

There are times in life when two heads are better than one.

Sometime it is when there is a problem to be solved and the interaction can raise a soloution far better than trying to figure things out on your own.

Other times it can mean a reduction in prices.

This is the case of caricatures this is certainly the case!

Caricature King has a sliding  scale of pricing, depending on the number of people in the caricature. This applies no matter if it is a heads and shoulders only caricature, or a full blown full bodies in a scene. In fact, two people in a scene is a lot cheaper than one person in a scene because we only charge for the scene once.

To make the deal even more attractive, you don’t even need to have everyone in the same image. If you order four unique images in the one order, then you get a discount straight away!!

Here are the discounts:

• 2 people = 8%,
• 3 people = 11%,
• 4 people = 15%,
• 5 people = 20%.
• 6+ people = 25%

When combined with the ability to show off people in a  fun way, a caricature featuring several people can be a real blast.

Who orders caricatures with more than one person? These commonly are:

• Families
• Work teams
• Bridesmaids groups
• Groomsmen (buck’s night or on the day!)
• Best friends
• Couples
• Pets (yes we do pets!)
• Sports teams

Here is a guitar player caricature.

Do you know someone who plays a musical instrument? Why not get a caricature of them playing it?

A great gift idea, or even use it as part of your promotional material if you are a musician!
