Personalised Caricatures

How about a unique present for someone you think highly of, or a loved one?

I am talking about a 'photo-realistic' caricature. 

This could be for someone who is leaving work, illustrating them working in their profession e.g. a cook, a postman, a manager etc, or just an image illustrating a funny situation that they have been connected with..

I could take a couple of photos of them to work from, or you could provide me with a digital photo of them for me to work from, especially if it's to be a surprise...but I would need written confirmation

from the original photographer that enables me to alter the image and won't infringe their copyright.

I then use the supplied photo as a 'working base' from which I establish a caricature, bringing in objects as necessary, changing their positions, and altering the face and hair to bring a humorous element to the picture.  There's often a great deal of hand-painted detail on them, which takes many hours work.  These are quite unique, and make special presents.
