STUDIO CARICATURE ILLUSTRATION

Studio caricature illustrations are a great way to celebrate special occasions such as graduations, anniversaries, retirement and birthdays to name a few. Hand drawn with your creative input, the only limit is your imagination.

Our prices are based on both the number of people and additional design ideas. The price for a black and white head and shoulder caricature illustration starts at $100 per person and $150 in color. Additional design items and background are charged based on the scope of each addition.

Upon receiving your photos and ideas, we will firmly quote you on your drawing based on the information you have provided us with.

Simply review the quote, ask any questions you might have and let us know when you are ready to go :)

We prepare and send you an invoice for a non refundable deposit of 25% or $100 whichever greater to start the work.

We start with a sketch of the people or subject matter and send you a draft of the caricature illustration for approval and feedback.

Once we receive your feedback, we incorporate your changes and draw the additional details. This second draft is drawn with high priority.

Further changes can be requested which may take longer to apply and may result in additional charges if the changes are beyond/different than the original request.

A high resolution digital file is supplied in your preferred format (excluding vectorization) and color scheme. Vectorization

If you are printing using a commercial print shop we would gladly work with their preferred format.

LIVE EVENT CARICATURES

We have been drawing live caricatures in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the whole East Coast since 1991.

Live caricature drawing at events is a classic form of event entertainment. It is not often people get to sit in front of an artist and have their caricature drawn live. Most people we meet admit that they have always wanted to have a caricature drawn. An interactive and fun form of entertainment, live caricature drawing is great for weddings, retirements, anniversaries, birthday parties, showers, festivals and more.

Ask us about our custom pre-printed paper option. We can design and print paper with your theme, logo and marketing ideas. Value added and a great way to enhance memories of your event.

We look forward to drawing live caricatures at your next Halifax event.

PET CARICATURES

My daughter has a fun (and tolerant) cat who she dresses up in funny costume. My favorite is of her cat dressed like a hot dog. Not everyone has a pet that likes to dress up! We have a solution for that :) How about a pet caricature illustration? You'd like your dog in a dress, your cat in cargo pants?

Pet caricatures have been growing in popularity over the past few years and we can't blame you. Our pets can be our best friends and confidants. Pets bring us joy and share that joy with everyone they meet.

Pet caricatures are a great addition for fundraisers, festivals, walk-a-thons, trade show booths and employee appreciation events. We have had the pleasure of drawing at events for Purina, Zoetis, PetLine Health Insurance and more. Nothing attracts a crowd to your marketing or fundraising efforts like live caricatures can. Pets not present? Have your guests present us with photos to be drawn.

A studio caricature illustration from photo is a great gift idea for the pet lover in your life. Fun and full of whimsy, a wonderful and thoughtful gift for anyone. Per illustrations also make great memorial pieces. Simply send us a few photos of the subject animal along with description of what other creative elements you would like to see and leave it to us. We know you'll love the result and be proud to gift this custom piece of art.
