GIFT CARICATURES

Get your unique gift caricature of friend, family member, business associate, staff or team member as retirement gifts, birthday presents, weddings or other special occasions.

Below are some samples of ones I've done for business subjects. The person is usually retiring, leaving for one reason or another, or this is for a work related promotional project.

These drawings are for the most part, about 16" X 20", on sturdy illustration board, suitable for framing.

I was commisssioned by Direct Energy when this happy guy retired from them.

.

 

A nice lady in Fort Myers asked me to draw this for her husband. This was given to him as a surprise gift. She wrote..."he was very impressed with the Neil Young lyrics you put on. He plays this song." Neil's song... Long May You Run, seemed an appropriate border for this man, considering he was a marathon runner.

He was also a News Director for a local Florida station, so the camerman on the side was important to add in as well. The blue, red and yellow bird at top is from Kansas University where he apparently attended.

 

 

A manager of the Best Buy Canada was given this by his appreciative staff for a surprise party.

Everything in the drawing was given me by the staff who organized this, and was special work related concepts or personal sayings of the man.


The retiring salesman who luvvved to fish. An easy scene to make up!

I made the book title, " The Fisherman's Guide to Selling."

This image is a gift to this pirate and his lovely mermaid catch. Family friends thought they would like this image of themselves. Their boat is also portrayed to give this a personal touch.

 

I was hired to draw this guy doing what he does best.

I can say I'm international now, as this was sent to him in Switzerland as a gift.

An Ontario farm couple. This was an anniversary present for these two nice people.

I would have liked to see him try and milk that cow!

 

I was commissioned to draw up this very educated lady as she moved on with her career.

 

 

This was a creative idea concieved by this guys wife. She told me everything I should put in the drawing and I gave the visuals to her imagination. I made up the crossword.

 

 

 

A very nice lady commissioned me to draw up this fun caricature for her husbands 40th birthday.

The kids loved it as well, as I was able to incorporate them into the pic. Friends and family members signed it.

 

 

 

Whew! Talk about getting a lot into one drawing. But for this 50th Anniversary couple it was necessary.

Wonderful and appreciative people from Sudbury hired me to draw this up for their parents. I heard it went over quite well when presented to them. I Googled to find an image online of the church they got married in. Lucked out. : )

 

 

The bride-to-be asked for this drawing to be done up. She was quite, quiet happy with it.
