Gift caricatures and personal commissions are not quick sketches but custom contemporary art to be framed and shared with family, friends and clients for years to come. Clients can choose to order a simple portrait or avatar for social media or business cards, or they can commission an elaborate illustration that shows one or dozens of people in a humorous situation with a detailed background.

 

Dave can draw a caricature commission using the client's emailed or uploaded photos or videos. Upon a project deposit, Dave can meet you in person at a local coffee shop to sketch your ideas.

USES AND APPLICATIONS

Caricature illustrations can be printed on posters, canvas, mugs, t-shirts, canvas bags to just about any material you desire. These media are ideal for gifts (birthdays, anniversaries, retirements), holiday and thank-you cards, weddings (save-the-dates, invitations, sign-in boards) and corporate branding.

 

RATES

My rates are based on the amount of detail and the complexity of the story you want to tell. My typical turn-around is two weeks, but I offer options for rush delivery.

EDITING PROCESS

Included in the cost of a caricature commission is the concept sketch, editing and fine-lining and coloring. We usually build in a 1-2 rounds of edits early into the drafting, before Dave begins coloring. We provide our clients with a Illustration Process Diagram, which shows how our workflow unfolds. This manages expectations for both the client and CCBD.

 

DISCOUNTS

I offer discounts and payment plans should you want to commission me for a bulk order of caricatures.
