BUY A GIFT CARICATURE OF YOU
AND THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE!
AND THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE!
Nothing says "LOVE" like getting a caricature done as a gift for the one your love. I was commissioned by this young man, to help him celebrate his six month anniversary to his college sweetheart. He sent me great photos, told me her favorite colors, and within twenty four hours, he presented his girl with a versatile gift that could be used as a screensaver, used as an avatar, printed out and put on a teeshirt, mouse pad, mug, or simply as a picture to be framed. Its that easy folks! Why not get yours done?
All you need to do is send me JPEGS of you and your true Love, along with a list of hobbies, interests, and randome things you both say, so that i can construct the scene. If you have a specific idea, or theme let me know. Remember to send me CLEAR pictures. Ive never seen you before, and can only draw what i SEE!

Doing a plug here for the book I pulished featuring a collection of subway inspired drawings of mine during the 2006-2008 period. I was really into my extreme exaggeration drawing phase during this time, so the art reflects that. I use the mediums of pen and ink, graphite, colored pencils, and Prismacolor art stixx in the book, and there is some commentary. Hard copies can be obtained through blurb.com and an EBOOK version is also available on ths site by going to the ebooks and products link on the right side f the blog page.
