Q. What size will my caricature / portrait be?
A. Standard image size for most caricatures and portraits is 11 inches by 14 inches. Depending on the number of subjects and other image details. Artwork may be up to 12 inches by 18 inches. Additional charges will apply for sizes larger than this.

Q. Do you do caricatures / portraits in custom sizes?
A. Yes. You are not limited to the standard size. This is just a common size, easy for framing, not too small, not too big and keeps the creation time down to the minimum. But if you have a specific size in mind, larger artworks are available at an additional charge.

Q. Can my caricature / portrait be created smaller than your standard size?
A. Yes. If for some reason you need an image that is smaller than 11x14, just be sure to include instructions during the order process.

Q. What is the largest size caricature / portrait I can order?
A. I have done portraits and caricatures in a broad range of sizes. The largest I've done is 4 feet wide by 2 feet tall. This was done on canvas and rolled up and shipped in a tube to save on shipping cost. Due to the time involved in creating larger works of art, this is probably the largest size I'd recommend ordering.

Q. Do larger sized caricatures / portraits take longer to create and ship?
A. The larger the illustration is, the longer it will physically take to complete (partly why additional charges will apply). Unless your artwork is larger than 18 inches by 24 inches, you should still expect it to be completed and shipped withing the normal 3 week window as any other standard order.

Q. If I need a group portrait, what size do you recommend?
A. The recommended size for a group portrait really would vary, depending primarily on the number of subjects. Standard images listed here go up to 6 subjects, which could be fit in an 18 inch wide by 12 inch high area. I would recommend moving up to a 20x16 or 24x18 for groups larger than 6. This way the subjects won't need to be squeezed in and greater attention can be paid to the detail in each subjects likeness.

Q. Can I choose the format (vertical or horizontal) of my artwork?
A. If you need a specific image orientation, you may include this in the instruction field during the order process. Generally, the image details, including number of subjects and other props/background will help to decide the format. The artist's goal is to compose the overall image in a manner that is visually most appealing. So the artist will generally determine the orientation after taking all of the details into consideration. If elements need to be squeezed or scaled down to fit into a vertical composition, but they will all fit comfortably in a horizontal one, then we would naturally go with the horizontal. If a specific format is required, however, we'll make it work for you!

Q. What is the difference between "portrait" and "landscape" formats?
A. Portrait format would describe an image that's height dimension is greater than its width dimension. Landscape would describe an image that's width is greater than its height.
