Why people choose a personalised caricature
Built around the recipient
The artwork grows from your chosen person, occasion and ideas rather than a fixed design.
Drawn or painted options
You can choose the finish that feels right for the mood and format of the piece.
Helpful for thoughtful gifts
A custom caricature gives celebrations and milestones something more distinctive.
A made to order caricature with real personality
A custom caricature feels special because it is built around a real person, group or moment, not lifted from a standard template. If you want a gift with more personality, a celebration piece with a specific in-joke or a commemorative artwork shaped to the recipient, a personalised caricature lets us develop the idea around what matters most. We create commissioned pieces as drawn or painted caricatures, and the wider commissioned range can also include cartoons and illustrations where the brief calls for a different treatment. The result is artwork with a clear personal link from the very start.
The brief shapes the finished artwork
The better the brief, the stronger the finished piece tends to be. Clear reference images are especially helpful, along with details about the people involved, the setting, the mood you want, the final format and the date the work is needed. Those points help us judge composition, style and how far to push the idea visually. Whether the caricature is meant as a birthday surprise, an anniversary gift or a one-off keepsake, planning it around the recipient is what gives the commission its charm.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good reference image for a commission?
Clear, well lit photos are the biggest help, especially when facial features need to be captured accurately. If the commission includes clothing, a setting or extra details, separate reference images for those can make the brief much stronger.
Can a personalised caricature be painted as well as drawn?
Yes. We create commissioned caricatures as drawn or painted pieces, depending on the look you want and the type of artwork you're commissioning. We can also develop cartoon style pieces and illustrations where the brief calls for it.
What information should we include in the brief?
Please tell us who the artwork is for, the occasion, the mood you want, the preferred format, the required date and any ideas you want included. The clearer the brief, the easier it is to shape the caricature around the recipient.
