Here 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!!

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!

There are some very imaginative caricature customers out there.

Who would have ever thought of putting a caricature into a beer tap as a gift?

Amazingly this idea works really well.

So from a couple of photos and an obliging printer and some creative juices, this retiree has a gift that will bring pleasure - and not just because of the beer - for many years!

And the message from the customer:

“Here are the pictures that I promised of the finished tapper. I hope you can use them. Thanks again for the great work and turnaround time. I will definitely use your services again in the future and pass along recommendations.”

If you have someone who is leaving your workplace, either to take up a position at a new company, or heading into retirement? A caricature makes a great gift.

Here is one for a man who worked for a steel company, and had also played rugby when he was younger. It was placed in a nice simple frame by the client and presented at a dinner held in his honor.

Hey Matt,

All framed and looking sexy! Thanks very much to you and Shane for the prompt service, it is much appreciated. We will definitely be using you guys again, and as I promised I will forward your work around inter-company to drum up some business for you. I showed my hubby and he wants one for himself!
