WHY THIS MUG WORKS

✏️
ACTUALLY HAND-DRAWN

Not a filter. Not an app. A real artist, with a real pen, drawing your real face. You can tell the difference.

FAQ

IS THE DRAWING REALLY HAND-DONE? ▼
Yes. Sébastien Rieu draws your portrait by hand using Indian ink and watercolour, in his studio in Bordeaux, France. There is no AI involved, no digital filter, no shortcut. The caricature is then scanned at high resolution and printed onto the mug.
WHAT PHOTO DO I NEED TO SEND? ▼
Any recent clear photo where the face is visible. A selfie works fine. Avoid heavy shadows, sunglasses, or photos where the face is turned sideways. You’ll upload the photo directly during checkout.
CAN I KEEP IT A SECRET? IS IT GIFT-READY? ▼
The mug arrives packaged and ready to give. If you’re ordering as a surprise gift, just make sure you have a photo of the recipient — a Facebook profile photo or screenshot works perfectly. We won’t spoil the surprise.

Brilliant and lifelike.

It goes in the dishwasher without any problem.

Thank you so much, Picasso.
