Frequently asked questions...
How long does it take to draw a caricature?
Once I have some photos to work from, I'll send you a draft sketch to approve, and then finished artwork by email, and hardcopy by courier. This takes 2-4 days.
I can generally do them 'same week' if I have photos early in the week. Add a few extra days for group caricatures.
I can do overnight rush jobs if required, I charge a bit extra for these...
What do you need?
I just need a photo of the people involved, (digital or scanned photos by email is easiest, though photos sent by mail are fine) and a description of the scene you'd like. I'll send you a draft sketch of how I see your ideas first...
How big are they..?
I draw these on a tablet computer, so they can be reproduced any size. A4 and A3 are the most popular, and 'lifesize' cutouts for parties are a great idea..
I'll post/courier a print to you, and/or send you a high res .jpg file you can reprint yourself...
What's the best way to pay?
By direct credit to my bank account, I also accept visa/mastercard

LIVE CARICATURES
Can you come to our conference/trade show/party and draw everyone?
I can 'draw a crowd" at your event, using a tablet computer/projector system, so everyone can see the cartoon as I'm drawing it. I print out a copy for the guest to keep, one for the wall, and save the file for email/web use.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the location and duration of your event. Please email me monstacartoons@gmail.com for a quote.
Do you travel?
Yes, I'm happy to draw anywhere. Last year I worked in New Zealand, Australia and Spain!

CHARACTERS
How do I go about getting a character created for my business?
I just need a description of the sort of character you'd like, and what you want it to achieve for you. I'll send you a set of sketch ideas to start with, and then develop one of more of these into finished characters. I'll create a master character, and a set of 'clip art' of different poses/messages.
How much does it cost?
I charge a character development fee for the initial concept sketches, master art fee for the finished charcater(s) and clipart fees for different poses/scenes. Costs depend on scale of use ( local/international... publication/merchandising etc) Please phone or email for a quote...
