Ivor the Artist - caricatures cartoons and portraits

Most people enjoy a caricature. They can bring a smile to the face of any jaded cynic. As presents they are personal and unique, as entertainment they are fun and leave lasting memories and as promotional items they make a big impression. The great thing about caricatures is that they can be used just about anywhere - from Christmas cards to leaving presents - and that their cost can be tailored to your budget.

This is becoming more and more popular. For those times when very little is happening in the proceedings or during the meal, a live caricaturist can entertain the guests and leave them with a cherished memento of the day. Caricatures of the bride and groom can also be done for the wedding stationery. I can either supply just the illustration or handle all the printing for you as well. BEWARE; some caricaturists exaggerate the features of the sitter in a grotesque manner, my style is to capture a likeness in a flattering light. A black and white drawing takes only five minutes on an A4 sheet of card.

Gain extra kudos for your event with a live caricaturist who entertains the guests during pre-dinner drinks and through dinner. Drawings can be done on letterheaded notepaper so that when they are framed, faxed or put onto some intranet the client or event is still being promoted. My style is perfectly suited for coporate events - no one is ever offended. Pre-specified backgrounds can also be used to tie in with any themed event. A black and white drawing takes only five minutes on an A4 sheet of card.

"Dear Ivor, Thank you very much for the excellent work you did for us on Friday at Carden Park. Everyone had a great night, the staff were very pleased with their caricatures and we all had a good laugh on Monday. I will recommend you to companies and friends who I hear may need your services in the future." Charlotte - HKW

The cartoon on the right was for a new book called, How to take life by the throat and say "I'm not done yet!" by Clive Gott.

For the person who has everything, a caricature of themselves is a perfect gift. These can be a simple black and white drawing to a full colour A3 detailed painting illustrating a particular memorable event in their lives or their hobbies etc. I also provide caricatures by post - all I need is a couple of good photographs.
