General Questions about Studio Caricatures
- What can I do with a Studio Caricature? My studio caricatures are fantastic, one-of-a-kind gifts for that person who has everything, and they make YOU look good as the gift-giver! They are suitable for any type of occasion. My digital studio caricatures can be printed on paper, fabric, magnets, cards, posters, sign-in boards for parties, you name it. My tradional fine-art media caricatures exist as one-of-a-kind pieces, but can be scanned to be used as mentioned above.
- What kind of Studio Caricatures can you do? The sky is the limit. I can do digital art on my computer, and traditional art with paints, ink, markers, pencils, watercolors, sculpey clay...just ask!
- How do I order a Studio Caricature? First, you tell me what you'd like. If you need ideas, I have plenty! After you hear my quote, I'll need several photos of the subject. I require a 50% deposit to start work, you'll get a sketch to approve before I add color, then I finish and either email or ship to you once I receive your balance. Soon, there will be a shopping cart on this website, but for now, please email me.
- What kind of photos do you need? The more photos you have, the better. I need clear head shots in good lighting, but if you are limited to certain photos, I'll work with what you have. Email is best, and larger is better. I also need to know eye color and hair color if the photos don't clearly show them.
- How long does it take? My usual turnaround is two weeks.
- What is personal use? I retain copyright on all my artwork. Personal use means you may use my caricatures for any purpose that is not commercial. For instance, printing them on your wedding invitations is personal use, but putting them on your business cards is not. To do that requires a different fee and written permission. Email me if you are interested in this option.
