Caricature Commissions
and products created from photos
In addition to live-drawn event caricatures, Judy creates more detailed, rendered, and precisely drawn caricature commissions in various sizes from photos! These are perfect for the person who has everything, whether simple headshots or a themed full body illustrations to commemorate a special occasion or milestone, or for anyone who appreciates a unique, original, and fun gift to be displayed and appreciated for years to come. And heck, we are in a selfie culture…what is more natural and timely?
This sample at top right, is a perfect example of the latter. This is a digitally hand-drawn commission for a corporation as an employee departure gift. It features some “props” and a fun concept created digitally from research, and provided photos through email.
Original art is available in sizes (with mats): 11 x 14 or 12 x 16 (with limited extras), 16 x 20, and 18 x 24, or without the mats, as a full-sized image.
Options are hand drawn with black ink marker pens and color, pencil, or pastel, or drawn digitally on an iPad* (NO AI or app HERE). Digital art can be laser or inkjet printed, or can be uploaded for customers to download, and print themselves! All delivered or shipped items are affixed to backing board and matted (unless full image desired).
Generally, unless simple headshots (available in BW or color), studio commissions include a title or caption, a few props and/or a background, but the choice is yours. The only limits are your imagination, size constraints and budget! She even draws pet versions!
The sample at left is a traditionally hand-drawn wedding commission, and part of a package at whose wedding Judy also drew.
The bottom right sample is one of several digital caricatures created for MGM Casino in Springfield, MA for use on notecards. Each was hand-drawn digitally with the features person in various poses/environs in or near the casino.
Prices vary depending on how much detail and how many subjects will be included in the picture, in addition to whether traditionally or digitally drawn. Traditional art allows for no revisions once created, whereas there is the ability to revise digital art which is more complex in creation. Four to six weeks is requested on average** for completion. If you’re not located in Connecticut, it may be best to order through my JTPortraicatures shop directly on ETSY! especially due to online payment and shipping. If you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, please inquire and I may be able to do a custom ETSY listing.
Otherwise, be sure to contact the studio directly for a custom quote, or order and payment arrangements.
