40th Birthday Gift For Brother
A gift cartoon for guests to sign at the party
“I would like to order an unframed glossy print for a 40th which can be signed on the night. We would like the following included if possible, a rugby ball in one hand and either a Leinster rugby jersey or Ireland rugby jersey as hes a huge fan. In the other hand a pint or can of coors light. As he enjoys his pints in The Spout Kilcullen it would be great if you could include this in the background. Also a signpost and on this have Kilrush, Kilcullen, Newbridge and Vegas ( reason for Vegas is he is going here for his 40th). Im not sure how but it would be great to include horse racing too as hes a huge fan, Liverpool fan and plays GAA with ST Laurences, Oldgrange. The message for print is " 40 is the new.......What was I saying again" Happy 40th Derek, love Dad, Sharon, Sandra & Michelle xx”

Birthday Gift for Partner
Email From Customer:
“I would like to order a glossy A3 print for my partner as a birthday gift. He is Superdad and family man with 2 crazy boys. I would like to have Terry with the boys in the picture. His biggest passion is travelling. He likes to surprise us with unexpected trips. Furthermore he likes to go on hikes in mountains and as a family we often go to the beach. He likes to watch old (Western) movies. He works as an engineer.
I would like a caricature of Terry with the lads. Maybe as an old movie style cowboy on the beach with the boys somewhere? I have not a creative mind at all but I hope I gave you enough information to think of something”

Email From Customer:
Hi Brendan, looking to get another caricature from you
- She's a jogger
- loves her hens
- and her dog Mikey! (see attached pic)
- is from Killenaule (Co. Tipperary) and works as deli manager for Dwyer's Butcher's in Killenaule
- big Tipp supporter
- If the dog could be on a lead with his name 'Mikey' even just barely visible and the hens following behind
- Maybe add in sweat bands on her wrists and forehead just to emphasise the jogging theme
- Could you add in a speech/thought bubble with the phrase "Jasus I'm wrecked lads!"
- And a can of Bud in her other hand!
The message for it is:
"Happy 40th T, lots of love Ca xxx"

“just to let you know that the caricature arrived safely and Tanya was thrilled with it.” - Catherine
40th Birthday Present From Family (Background is Malahide Marina)
Order Details:
“We're going to go with an A3 colour caricature please - it's for my sister Denise's 40th Birthday. I've attached a few photos of her, are they enough for you to work with?
The following are a few personal touches that we would like you to incorporate if possible:
• 'Malahide Marina' in the background - as in a few boats and a sign for it;
• Signpost with 'Swords' going one way and 'Fab Forties' going another;
• Denise wearing a Dublin jersey with a Gin & Tonic in one hand and a tub of popcorn in the other!
• The text 'Happy 40th Birthday Denny' across the top and 'Lots of Love Mum & Dad xx' at the bottom - as in one of the examples you sent for someone called Lucy;
• Now this is a long shot but if you could put a small Roy Keane in the pic somewhere in a Man U jersey with a Red Panda on a lead that'd be perfect - don't ask!! 😊😊”
[I couldn’t put Roy Keane in the cartoon as that would be a copyright issue. Instead I did a Man U jersey on the panda and a hat with “KEANO” on it]
