About Your Caricature
All caricatures are hand drawn using black watercolour pencil for the outline and then coloured in with a wacom computer tablet. The finished caricature will therefore be a print not a hand coloured original and signed by myself at the bottom right of the print. All caricatures are printed using the best quality inks in the industry today and printed on velvet fine artwork paper which is 100% cotton rag, acid free and offers the finest print quality. The finished print you recieve will be A3 size (29.7cm x 42cm / 11.75" x 16.5"). Additional prints or smaller sized prints can also be purchased for a small fee.
Price
The cost for a single person caricature is £50, a 2-3 person caricature is £75, a 4-6 person caricature is £100 and a 7 person or more caricature is £125. All prices include postage and packing. All caricatures come with a basic background, these include such things as a landscape, or a building, a car, hobbie items etc. If you want a more detailed background let me know what you would like and i can quote you a price.
How To Order
In order to complete your caricature i will need 1 or more good quality head shots (preferably smiling) and details of what the person should be wearing or holding which you can also send to me via email or describe it to me. I like to be as accurate as i can with the caricatures so they add that unique personal touch.

Paying For Your Caricature
If your happy for me to make a start on your caricature i will require the payment before i begin. I can accept credit card payments through secure online company Paypal (If you do not have a Paypal account you can still pay with your credit card - for more info click here). If you live in the UK i can also accept cheque or postal order. If ordering online i will send you an invoice via email to complete the transaction or send my address if paying via cheque or postal order.
Creating Your Caricature
Once I have all photo's and we have decided on the composition, I can share the development of the picture with you via email as I create your caricature. I will send you a rough design to see if you want to make any changes and when you are happy with it will complete the final artwork. Completion will usually take 3-4 days for a single or 2 person caricature or slightly longer if it is a larger group caricature, although shorter deadlines can often be met for special occasions. When finished I will send you a jpg via email to see if you are happy with it and then send the completed print to you. I can also supply the original tiff file for you to download if requested.
Shipping & Delivery Times
The print is sent in a thick postal tube to avoid damage so it arrives with you in perfect condition, and is sent recorded delivery via the royal mail. UK delivery times will be 1-2 days and Worldwide delivery times between 2-3 weeks.
