Dan's Pet Portraits and Caricatures - Nationwide
Pet portraits and caricatures done in a more traditional style, without software. Drawings can be done in graphite pencils, pen and ink, and/or color pencil. Sizes start at 8x10. Multiple pets together in one drawing are no problem.
My name is Dan Foster, owner of Dan's Portraits and Caricatures, established in 2000 (after retiring from the US Air Force) and located just outside of Dayton, OH.
My services include live cartoon portraits and caricatures of people and pets. I like to present a professional appearance, draw from a French easel, using white card stock paper, and provide clear plastic bags to protect your drawing. I strive for an attractive likeness while keeping it fun. I often refer to my drawings of the ladies as "Glamourcatures". It is, however, open season when I draw men. ;)
When it comes to live caricature and cartoon portrait services, please consider me for: Wedding Receptions and Rehearsal Dinners, Bridal Showers, Birthdays, Grand Openings, Family Reunions, Trade Shows, School Events and Dances, After-Proms, Holiday Parties, Corporate Events, Dog Shows, etc.
I also do detailed studio work using graphite pencil, pen-and-ink, and pencil colors. Although you'll find examples of my studio work on this site, please visit and "like" my Facebook fan page: Dan's Portraits and Caricatures, where you can see more recent examples of my live work.
