6. Do you work from photos?
A: Yes, but only from close up headshots. Follow these steps for best results
1. Make sure your photo is a headshot (face takes up most of the picture)
2. Make sure your photo is in focus.
3. Make sure the person in the photo is not against a dark background.
4. Make sure the facial expression is one you like. Your caricature will look the same.
5. If I'm drawing multiple people in your caricature, send me separate headshots.
6. Include a list of details such as hair color, eye color just in case.
7. Can I send a photo via email?

8. Can you send me a printed copy?
A: once completed I will send you a high resolution JPEG of your illustration for you to have printed at your local print shop. With that said, I can have it printed at my print shop and sent to you however, those prices will vary depending on the project.
9. What is the turnaround time for an illustration?
A: Once I receive payment and the photos you sent are approved, I will add you to the queue. you can expect your illustration to arrive 7 days after I begin your job. The time Frame that I begin your job depends on how many clients have commissioned me before you and these wait times will increase during holiday seasons or if my work load is unexpectedly heavy. Get your request in early to avoid a long wait During the holidays .
