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!

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!

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!”

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

The customers response… “This is outstanding!”

Here is a recent job completed by caricature artist Zalo.

The client’s brief was:

Please make it a caricature of the photos not a portrait. The plan is to make it fun! The women in the photo likes to bowl, plays volleyball and softball. The man in the photo likes to trap shoot and works in the oil fields. They are both from western Kansas, USA and love watching Kansas Jayhawk college basketball. The caricature is a gift for their 30th Wedding Anniversary.

Did they like it? Here’s what they said:

Thank you for the wonderful caricature. My parents will love it. Zalo did a great job of interpreting the overall concept that I wanted through two digital photos and a few descriptive sentences. I would recommend Zalo to anyone who is looking for a high quality caricature. The customer service was great and the turn-around time was unbelievable. You all exceeded my expectations by a long shot. I’ll try to forward a photo of my parents with their caricature if at all possible for your website. Thanks again for a job well done. - Andrea Legleiter
