Trish B booked Mark The Caricaturist for their event
“I highly recommend caricatures by Mark. I sent some photos along with a note of some ideas to incorporate and I was not disappointed. The end result was better than I had hoped. Any queries I had were answered quickly and the caricature arrived in the far north of Scotland safely and in plenty of time, for a surprise present for my brother in law's 60th birthday from the family. Needless to say the caricature was well received and my brother in law was very touched with his gift. Don't go past Mark The Caricaturist for 100% service quality and professionalism.”
I have and would recommend Mark
Jo P booked Mark The Caricaturist for their event
“We asked Mark to create a caricature of our team as a retirement gift for our much loved Director. With just a few details regarding our hobbies he was able to create a truly unique souvenir which really captured the essence of our team. Turn around time was less than two weeks which was really impressive. I have and would recommend Mark to friends, family and colleagues.”

Jo F booked Mark The Caricaturist for their event
“I spoke with Mark with regards to doing a caricature for my husband's 50th birthday. The description I gave him was: He served 22 years in the British Army, he loves the Steve McQueen motorbike replica, he works out of the country tax free so can only spend 91 days of the year in Country otherwise the Tax man will be after him, he loves Grand Designs and plans to do a 2nd big job on our new home and we have just bought a dog boarding kennels. Within a couple of Days Mark had completed the drawing and posted it out to me! The work and detail that has gone into the drawing is outstanding, Mark has captured the essence of the subject perfectly. I would recommend him to anyone who wishes to do a present with a difference, something totally unique to an individual and I am convinced nobody will be disappointed with the results.”
