Additional figures priced as if individual.

To secure commitment to produce the requested art, a deposit of $50.00 required.

Generally, custom caricatures are drawn on white, medium-weight 9″ x 12″ or 11” x 14” sized paper, with option for 12″ x 18.”

Prices do not include shipping.

In addition:

    • Special Time Magazine cover “Man/Woman of the Year” art: Prices follow the list above; add $95.00 for special Time cover customization, including significant date of choice and accompanying “headline.”

    • Travel to venues beyond a 30-mile radius from southeast Charlotte to other parts of North Carolina and South Carolina or beyond may require a mileage fee, based on the current IRS allowance ($.59 per mile as of 12/17/21).  Considerable distance and time traveled may also require overnight lodging at a reasonable rate, to be added to the art fee.
  • Fees for caricatures, cartoons, illustrations for commercial use or editorial publication may be negotiated, depending on subject and “impressions” per audience.

When drawing caricatures from photos – the larger, more current, the better.  Please, no old shots from years ago, taken among 20 other people.  You know what works best – the type of pictures that are professionally taken at school, or as a “glamour” shot from the mall, or simply taken by an amateur…as long as they’re clear and close up.

You may send the photo(s) to him by postal mail, in which case the photo will be returned along with the art – the postage fee will be added to the price. 

Or you may e-mail the photos (jpegs) to Joel at jdkmcm@gmail.com

You’ll be asked for information on the person(s) to be caricatured: for instance, hair and eye color, profession, hobbies or other interests, etc.  Feel free, as well, to suggest the “scene” to be drawn.

Please allow for 14 days delivery time from the day the photos are first received.  Rush requests may be billed at an additional rate.

Payment for all services may be remitted by check, cash or
