Caricatures

As a studio caricaturist or caricature artist, I often get commissioned to create caricatures in my studio for graduation gifts, retirement gifts, farewell gifts, birthday gifts and wedding anniversary gifts. These caricatures capture how a person is perceived by their colleagues or loved ones and are based on photos clients send me.

In essence, a caricature is a cartoon or illustration that highlights the distinct features of a particular individual, making them easily recognisable while adding a touch of exaggeration.

Illustrations

My illustrations are pictures that illustrate books, newspaper and magazine articles, wedding invites, brochures and maps.

Cartoons

My work involves creating cartoons for a variety of purposes such as editorials, book covers, logos, training programs, and educational programs.

I find that incorporating humour through cartoons can be particularly effective in lightening up the often sombre topic of economics. Additionally, when it comes to training programs, cartoons prove to be especially valuable in teaching illiterate workers.

Technical illustrations

Another area where I possess expertise is creating vector drawings as line art for a variety of purposes, such as brochures, instruction manuals, maps, and diagrams.  Vector drawings are crafted entirely on a computer using precise coordinates to produce sharp, polished lines that can be resized to any scale without losing quality.

"A stickler for detail, Konrad appreciates the difference between good and great, and won't stop tweaking till the end-product meets his exacting standards.

"His offbeat sense of humour, coupled with his ability to transform this into his designs, makes it a pleasure to brainstorm new concepts with him.

"Konrad has been a key member in developing my brand, and I always look to him for inspiration and creativity."
