JTPortraicatures

After many happy years as a professional graphic designer, a 2003 layoff led me not only in search of another job, but fascination with faces propelled me to hit the ground running pursuing my first love and unique talent, drawing faces that are not only uniquely not “theme-park” style, but capturing a flattering likeness with a cartoony edge.

Since then, I have been in my element drawing thousands of people of all ages to rave reviews, and thoroughly love the interaction and fun. My business, which features caricature theme and portrait commissions as well, has grown remarkably over the years! And in 2008, I landed a part-time graphic design job to complement, so though things were golden for the long haul, I thought, I was mistaken.

After another layoff in 2016, I had to build my own business more being fully-self employed and opened my shop in 2017. Little by little I added more of the types of products I sold previously on my own, and added more, most recently, timely (especially with COVID) items such as lawn signs for grads and now all occasions, and COVID Change the Date graphics for postponed weddings, all featuring my custom caricatures, and all had drawn for created fully by me. Many of my offerings are traditional art to be shipped, and now have added a few digitally drawn and delivered items, avoiding the shipping.

Hope you find things you love and help support my business with an order. Thanks for reading!
