I recently did a caricature for a couples first anniversary (which is paper).

The difference with this one was that they wanted to be portrayed as Zombies riding a dirt bike through Africa. Who said the living dead have no sense of humour? They loved it and wrote “I'd just like to thank you for the excellent job you did on the caricature that my wife organised for our 1st anniversary. I've never had anyone draw me before and it was a real treat. I absolutely love it. Thank you very much.”  

Keep me in mind If you know any vampires out there with a sense of humour about to celebrate a special occasion.

I often receive great testimonials from my customers, here is one I got recently. I have attached a copy of the caricature below.

"Fantastic service and very talented artist. Everyone who has seen the picture has asked me who has drawn it. They can't believe it was done by someone we have never met. It captures us both perfectly. The best wedding present I could ever have got my husband. I love it so much as well. Easy to deal with. Would do it again in a second." Hayley Hausfeld.

Thanks Hayley!

Till next time

"Hi Phil, I am just letting you know I just received my Caricature, I feel seeing that this is the third one you have done for me it is about time I gave you a testimonial. Well overdue.
 
Once again WOW !!!!!! and a million Thank you's . It is BRILLIANT !!    The first was a wedding gift which was an enormous hit, everyone at the Wedding absolutely loved it. A totally original gift and the Bride and Groom looked identical to their photos I sent you. A real talking point and is still commented on by visitors years later. You capture every detail so very precise.
The second was also for a Wedding, this time my daughter and it was their most loved gift. Thank to you I am the favorite Mother In law.
This new one is for my other Son In laws 30th, he will go nuts. It is him to a tee. We are all amazed by your talent and thank you so much for getting this done on such short notice.
 
I will be ordering again later in the year for another special occasion.
You are most professional.
Cheers Sharon E"

"I gave my boyfriend his picture for his 21st and he absolutely loved it! The detail in all the little pictures and his face alone was amazing.

When I first received it, it was still 2weeks before his actual birthday and I was so excited when I saw it I had tears in my eyes I wanted to show everyone!!!!

Best Birthday present ever, it's currently hanging on his wall in his room and we always look at it and smile! Rhys had it placed in his kitchen at his 21st so everyone who walked in got to admire it, and I got all the praise :) 'Aw that's fantastic' 'who gave you that' 'where'd you get that done' 'good work Carmen', is what I heard all night long.

Thank you so much  I've highly recommended this to everyone."

Kind regards Carmen A

Show the one you love that you are not only a die-hard romantic but that you also have a sense of humour.

Order today before time gets away.

Cheers Spratti

I hope you all have a great Christmas break and a happy 2011.

Hello Phil!
I love the caricature of my cousin Emogene! The image of her is astounding! You are a fantastic and gifted artist. I didn't know what to give as a Christmas gift for a person who has everything. When I thought about a caricature, I was a little hesitant. I can say that I am truly pleased with your work! I will highly recommend you to anyone thinking about giving a caricature as a gift, or for their own enjoyment.  I can't wait to see Emogene's reaction when she opens the package Christmas day! Thanks for a gift that will keep on giving!

Hi Phil, I wish I hadn’t wasted $$ on getting a quick caricature from another person – Phil Spratt’s one of my partner, a very complex man ranging from the in-control quiet, calm pilot right across the realm to a wilder sort who loves Star Trek, opera and outdoor adventures equally, was just brilliant and my partner really loved it as it captured his spirit very well.  Absolutely worth it in every sense and  we have since recommended a Sprattiart piece to many friends and business associates; come to think of it, wouldn’t mind one myself!

Thanks Angela D

Here is a caricature I did this week for a couple who have been married for 50 years. Their daughter commissioned it for their anniversary.

He is an accountant (note dollar signs on the carpet and the beans on the desk) and his wife has been his secretary for decades and they still work together. I just had to have her sitting on the boss’ lap.

Fittingly I am also working on a caricature this week for a young couple celebrating their first anniversary (which is appropriately paper).

Anniversaries prove popular.

Cheers - till next time

Buying a caricature? Watch what you buy as there are a number of caricaturists out there that don’t make it clear when you purchase from them that you will only receive a digital print-out and not original artwork.

I work only in pen and ink and watercolour on watercolour paper and use only quality materials that last and last.

Why would anybody want to receive a digital print-out as a gift when they can receive an original hand-painted caricature by Spratti at around the same price?

If you want a digital copy of the original I can easily scan and send you one at no charge - the best of both worlds.

Keep that special occasion special by giving a lasting and genuinely original caricature by Spratti.

Cheers Spratti

Forget the same boring gift that everyone else gives their Dad. This year give him a really personal gift celebrating the things that your Dad means to you with an original Spratti caricature. All the details are included in the price (see the examples below) so you can include the things that make him tick.

Be quick to order as places are limited and make this year's Father's Day really memorable!

When I produce a caricature I include a lot of the subjects personal details.  These often include funny anecdotes, like the following ones:

A woman while at a party bit into an olive and broke her front tooth in half on the pit.  She went into the ladies toilets and stuck her broken tooth back in place with "Super Glue".

Her husband who just had a minor medical procedure was taking his medication for some weeks afterward and complaining, “these tablets aren’t doing anything”.  It turned out he was not taking his medication but "Fat Blaster" tablets by mistake.

Needless to say I made reference to both these funny anecdotes in their double caricature.

These sorts of details are included in the price and are just one of the many things that make Spratti caricatures unique.

Hey Phil,  just a quick note to let you know that the 50th Group Caricature went off an absolute treat for my husband's 50th.  We were nearly evicted from the Cradle Mountain lodge for disruption upon opening the gift...  the cheers & laughter would have certainly been heard in Hobart!  

He was so surprised and impressed with the likeness of all of us... We all sat around it deliberating if we actually do look like that... which... then rest of the group quickly verified that we all do!!! ( yikes! )...  

it was the best thing that l have ever given as a gift.   l will certainly be recommending your absolute talent & efficiency to all of my friends & family. Your work is nothing short of brilliant!

Cheers & thanks again - Tracy
