Wedding Invitation
This charming piece was drawn for the happy couple depicted here. The artwork was printed on transparent
vellum paper which was then hand tied to elegantly printed cardstock.

The end result was a clever and original invitation that was tasteful while allowing the good natured personality of the betrothed to shine through.

COLOR Caricatures and Illustration
You can get a color caricature from Corycatures with any medium you'd like really! But I do have two specific ways that I generally color gift caricatures:

1) Watercolor Pencil Crayons and Art Stix ~ You get one-of-a-kind original hand-drawn works of art lovingly crafted in color! They don't reproduce easily for use on the web without professional photography to properly document but they're long-lasting pictures great for framing!. Click to go to watercolor samples!

2) Digitally colorized ~ High resolution, full color cartoons sized and ready for printing mutliple copies, print and web use. The original; artwork is generally done as pen and ink drawings then scanned for coloring (computer magic!). It doesn't make it one-of-a-kind but their multiple applications and vibrant coloring make them exciting works of art! Click to go digital samples!
