Cartoon-o - The new home for london cartoonist and caricaturist Simon Ellinas

 

Born with a pencil in my hands...

...(an uncomfortable experience for my mother), I started drawing cartoons and caricatures from an early age. The Beano, Dandy and later, American Marvel comics were my main colleges of education. All lecture notes at school were 90% cartoons and only 10% notes. MORE…

WHY USE CARTOONS AND CARICATURES?

TO ENTERTAIN YOUR GUESTS

WHETHER AT A company gathering, corporate event, wedding reception or birthday party, your guests will love to watch each other being caricatured and will long remember your event when they look at the souvenir caricature you have given them.

If required, caricatures can be drawn onto paper pre-printed with your own personal message. At exhibitions, each caricature then becomes a totally unique and eye-catching business card, for YOU, which is often shown to others and hung, framed in offices. MAKE AN ENQUIRY NOW...

"Thank you so much. You were excellent. I shall certainly recommend you."
– Maj. Guy Stone, The Welsh Guards.

AS A UNIQUE GIFT
SHOW SOMEONE how much you appreciate them by giving them a truly individual present – a caricature drawn from a photo. People will really appreciate the trouble you have gone to in commissioning a professional artist to produce a unique work of art from their photos.



Incorporating their favourite hobbies, episodes from their life or private jokes makes the finished caricature even more personal so that it will become a long-cherished keepsake.

A caricature drawn from a photo is so much more affordable than a serious portrait and a whole lot more FUN!

And, of course, groups of up to sixty people can be drawn in one composition. All from photographs. MORE INFO HERE...

TO ATTRACT ATTENTION
CARICATURES PROVIDE a unique stand-out feature for your website or publication. Your readers will look at a skillfully drawn caricature of your staff for much longer than a photo.

Cartoons picking out the pertinent points of your text encourage readers to linger on your webpage and to absorb your message. A sequence of cartoons in website can also be used to lead visitors from one page to the next.

A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS
YOU CAN SELL an idea with cartoons. Don’t tell people your idea at your next presentation, SHOW them with a dazzling selection of professionally drawn cartoon illustrations. Cartoons reinforce a speech without the distraction of words and so are the ideal graphic to get a message across memorably. MORE INFO HERE...

During brainstorming conferences, it is often frustrating when key points have to be repeated again and again. An on the spot cartoonist, drawing illustrations of the key points on a flip chart, provides a clear aide memoire to the delegates and these cartoons can afterwards be used in documents.

A laptop connected to a large screen can also be used with each image being saved as a file for later use.

TO SHOW YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR
REGULAR CARTOON strips based on your area of business will show that your company has a sense of fun! They soon become a good regular attraction in any publication or website encouraging people to revisit often.

HAVE SOME CHARACTER
A cartoon character used throughout your company’s promotional materials and websites can be used to convey your messages in a humorous but intensely memorable way.

AND THAT’S NOT THE END OF THE STORY
Humour is valued in most situations and cartoons contain the humour that you can use to enhance your business and private life. MAKE A GENERAL ENQUIRY HERE...

Caricatures from Photos

"A huge thank you for the fabulous caricature you created for us. Dominic was delighted and it was the topic of conversation for weeks."
–Isobel Sarkies, Warburg Pincus.
