In May/June 2009 I completed the Schoolism.com course "The Art of Caricature with Jason Seiler" and achieved a final grade A+.
Opposite are some examples of caricature illustration work done for that course, illustration jobs I have done and portfolio pieces. Click on the thumbnails to see the full paintings.
My gift caricatures are the perfect individual and unique presents for anyone and for any occasion - birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, etc. A gift caricature can also be used as the perfect wedding invitation or to commemorate the event. Or you could have yourself immortalised!
All my caricatures are printed on A3 archival quality paper and look absolutely stunning at that size. Each commission is priced indiviually depending on the detail required, but prices start from £109 for a one person colour caricature (£79 for b&w). Please e-mail me for a quote.
For the best possible results I need some high quality photographs of the subject - the better the photographs, the better likeness and detail I can get. Here is a gallery of recent commissions:
This section is for traditional paintings. Generally I use acrylic paints on canvas or illustration board. My latest work is a painting of the lead singer of Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong. The original painting is 1.5m x 1.0m on canvas and was a great deal of fun to paint. This painting is available now as a limited edition print of 100 copies at A3 size. Each is hand numbered and signed. Click the main pic and detail shots for a closer look:
The limited edition print costs £25 inc p&p - click here to buy using PayPal:

'I commissioned Neil to paint a portrait of a band he had never even heard of, let alone seen. Needless to say, it didn't phase him in the slightest, and he produced a fantastic piece of artwork that adorns my wall to this day, and thoroughly impressed the band members themselves. I'd recommend his work to anyone looking for commissions, no matter how unusual!' - Billie, London
'Neil is a fantastic artist and can truly capture the essence of the subject in one of his wonderful caricatures. He's also very reasonable too - I'd certainly recommend his services to anyone looking for something a little more unique to hang on their wall' - Jen, London
