YOUR JOKE.
ONE FUN GIFT.
Group illustration shown. Simple one-person gifts start at £40; larger groups are quoted separately.
Three objects. Plenty of personality.
Pick the present. I’ll draw the face.
Group example shown: quotation required. £40 is for a simple caricature of one person.
Their face. Their mug.
A familiar face, a name and your short message. Give them a mug nobody else could mistake for their own.

Example layout: the same person repeated. Repeating one drawing does not add extra subjects.
A very familiar pair

Detailed scene shown: quotation required. £60 is for a simple one-person caricature.

A few ideas to get you started
The joke is in the detail.
Still 29. Apparently.
Their caricature, their age and a little white lie. A birthday mug with the message you choose.
A proper pair
Their familiar face on their socks. Just the thing for someone who takes themselves a little too seriously.
Some assembly required
Give them a puzzle of themselves. Getting older is one thing; putting your own face back together is another.
Use one of these ideas or send your own short message. You choose how cheeky to make it.
From a drawing to a printed gift
See the faces. See the objects.
Click any image to see it in full. Examples show different layouts and levels of detail; your price depends on the option you choose.
Easy to order. Hard to keep a straight face.
Pick the object
Choose a mug, socks or puzzle and the number of different people or pets to draw.
Send photos, then pay
Upload clear photos and add a name, short message and your instructions. Photos are saved before payment.
Approve the sketch
After payment, check the pencil sketch before I finish the caricature and prepare the print.
Give them a laugh
The object is printed in the UK and sent to your UK address. Delivery is included in the displayed price.
Allow approximately 7–12 days. For a birthday, a leaving party or Christmas, check your date before ordering. The estimate includes making and delivering the object; it is not an express-delivery promise.
A real person draws your funny face
A pen, a brush
and a bit of character.
I’m Sébastien Rieu. I draw your caricature by hand with ink and watercolour, using the photos you send. A familiar expression is what makes the joke work.

Read customer reviews →Your questions, answered.
Are these printed gifts or original drawings?
These are printed objects: mugs, socks and jigsaws. I draw the caricature by hand and the artwork is reproduced on your chosen product. An original drawing on paper is not included.
What does the starting price cover?
A simple caricature of one person or pet on the selected object, with UK delivery included. A name and short message can be included in your instructions. Multiple people, elaborate scenes or extra details are not included in the one-subject starting price.
Do I send photos before paying?
Yes. Choose the object and number of subjects, then upload your photos and enter your instructions. Your photos are saved before you continue to secure payment.
Can I approve the drawing?
Yes. After payment, I send a pencil sketch for approval before completing the final drawing and proceeding to production.
Can I add a background?
A colour background is optional at £22 per printed item. Select it on the order form and describe it in words. The basic price has no illustrated background. Complex scenes or large groups require a separate quote.
How long will delivery take?
The current estimate for printed gifts is approximately 7–12 days. This depends on the brief, sketch approval, production and delivery. Contact me before ordering if your gift is needed for a fixed date.
Is the artwork made with AI?
No. I draw by hand with ink and watercolour on paper. The gift is printed from that drawing; the caricature is not made by AI or an automatic photo filter.
Can you include their age and a birthday message?
Yes. Add their name, age and the exact short message in your instructions. Check the spelling and details when you approve the sketch.
Give them a laugh they can unwrap.
Choose the object, send the photos and add your message. I’ll take care of the caricature.
