Working From Photos.
I produce cartoon likenesses (not photo-realistic illustration or caricatured exagerated features). Please hover over the 'Before and After' examples on the right to get a rough idea of how I turn photo images into cartoon likenesses. Best photos to send are as above - slightly side-on and a good image of the person. (not taken in the sun, not wearing a cap, not too far away and if possible, not face-on).

Theme to the cartoon.
I work principally from your ideas. Many customers have a basic idea of what they want but if you don't, I can help - Let's say you want to give a humourous cartoon to a good friend changing his career. What can be included within the cartoon? Well, how about funny events during time in the old job, Catchphrases, Work habits, Work dodges, Include personal features - Hair style, Hobbies, 'Pride and Joy' items, Clothing.
You see, just a few ideas and there's plenty of scope for fun elements to be included within the artwork.
