Well, all our artists get good wraps, but as Brian is fairly new on board I thought this bit of feedback from a client was worth posting, and a great opportunity to showcase his work.

Eddy Gurney has a photo business (taking pics of High School girls for their Seniors pictures - what a job!!) and wanted a funky caricature of himself to use on his website. So here is what Brian produced.

Hello Matt.

Woo-hoo!

I am very excited that my caricature is done!

I forwarded the small JPEG version to my sister with just the comment:

“So does this look like me or what?” and this is what she said:

‘Oh my gosh!  That tot rules.  Love it. And I definitely think it looks like you. Where did you get that??!’

So… please tell Brian that he did a great job!

I think this type of caricature would make a great gift for some people I know that have “everything”, so I’m definitely going to keep that in the back of my mind.

Thanks again!

Eddy

Our caricature artists are a skilled lot. Not only can they create amazing images for wedding gifts, retirement gifts, save the date artwork, etc etc, but they can even turn their hand to caricatured logos.

Here is a recent job completed by caricature artist Rick

While we charge more for logos (they come under commercial art,) we are still very price competitive.

Have a look at our caricature logos page for more samples

Feel free to contact me if you have a logo idea to discuss.

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.

For many businesses having a picture of staff is one aspect of personalizing the profile page. You are dealing with a company and you get to see the person’s picture.

Sometimes however, staff are reluctant to have their photos taken for use on a public website.

One way around this is to use a caricature of the person. This allows enough of who the person is to be shown, but at the same time not revealing the look of the person 100%.

Some businesses like to use caricatures because they are different. This is great for a business that may want to remove some of the ’stuffiness’ that may be associated with their type of business.

Using caricatures of staff can also be used to portray that your business has an  ‘outside the box’ capability.

A while back artist George did a series of caricatures for Pyramid Educational Consultants.

I think they have shown good use of the caricatures by using them on their consultant’s profile page, plus on a map on the same page. Have a look here.

The caricatures are also used in email signatures.

I think this helps show potential and existing clients that their organization is not the same as everyone else - that they can and do think outside the square and all success to them for doing that.

An added advantage is the staff members also get a copy of their caricature to use!
