About Me - Caricature Artist Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & More!

What a way to make a living and what a place to do it in...!

My name is Phil Spratt aka "Spratti". I live and work on the beautiful Gold Coast just south of Brisbane in sunny Queensland.

I am a qualified Graphic Designer operating my own design business - Creative Minds for the past 17 years. I studied Graphic Design in Sydney, where I grew up.

I worked as a cartoonist and caricature artist in Sydney for many years.

Just What Is A Caricature?

The term caricature comes from the Italian 'caricare', meaning to overload.

The art of caricature has a long and colourful history worldwide. Did you know that Monet early in his career earnt his living as a caricaturist?

In certain South American countries, their political caricaturists have been assassinated because of their revealing social comment.

I have drawn a number of political figures in editorial cartoons that would probably like to do the same to me!

I have been producing caricatures as personalised gifts, for the past 16 years. I have also been producing regular editorial cartoons , book illustrations , cartoon logos and cartoons for websites and t-shirts.

My caricatures have been given as unique wedding gifts and for those looking for general unique gift ideas. Buy your own caricature NOW!

Hope you enjoy my site.

Kind Regards

Phil
