Why these gifts look like nothing you’ll find anywhere else
You’re looking for a funny, original gift idea for a birthday, Mother’s Day, a retirement or your brother’s 50th — and you already know the answer isn’t yet another mass-printed object. Here, the object is only the canvas: the real gift is the drawing. A one-of-a-kind portrait, drawn by hand from your photo, with that mix of humor and warmth that only caricature can offer.
I’m a French caricature and portrait artist, based in Bordeaux. Every order starts on my drawing table: India ink, watercolor, textured paper. No template, no automatic generation, no software retouching — a funny family portrait, a couple sketched with a wink or your cat immortalized in all its majesty, drawn the way things were drawn before everything became automatic. The original artwork is then scanned in very high definition to be printed on the object of your choice.
“A mug, a canvas or a pillow — you can find those anywhere.
A pen stroke that looks like you? You can’t.”
That’s what sets these personalized objects apart from the big online printing platforms: you’re not buying a print, you’re commissioning a work from an artist — and you walk away with an everyday object that tells a real story. The kind of gift that never ends up at the back of a closet.

What they say about the drawing itself
The object changes, the drawing stays the same. These reviews are about caricatures commissioned from a photo: it’s exactly this drawing, made by hand then scanned in high definition, that gets printed on the objects on this page. (Translated from French.)
“With enormous talent and efficiency, Sébastien produced a beautifully crafted portrait of our little family — blending humor and tenderness with all his creativity in this superb piece. Thank you.”
“This morning I received the caricature of the 5 musicians in our band — completely satisfied with the work. Sébastien Rieu even gave me ideas to refine our characters further, at a fair price compared with the other quotes I’d received.”
“A drawing that really matches what I asked for. You can approve the draft before the final drawing. I recommend.”

FAQ
How do I order a custom caricature gift?
Choose your product, place your order and upload a clear photo. Sébastien draws it by hand — you receive the digital file the same day (order before 6 PM ET), or the printed product within 7–12 business days.
Is the digital caricature drawn on a computer or a tablet?
No — “digital” only describes the delivery format. Every caricature is drawn by hand with India ink and watercolor on real art paper, then scanned in HD. A digitized drawing is not a digital drawing — yours starts its life on paper.
What photo should I send?
A clear, well-lit photo where the face is visible and centered. Front-facing or three-quarter angle, good resolution. Selfies work fine.
Can I have multiple people in one caricature?
Yes! Sébastien draws couples, families and groups. Prices follow the number of faces: 1 face $29, 2 faces $34, 3 faces $42, 4 faces $49. Ideal for weddings, retirement farewell boards and family gifts.
Do you ship to the United States?
Yes, all printed products are fulfilled by Printful from US-based warehouses in California and North Carolina — no customs delays, no extra fees, free shipping to all 50 states. Digital files are delivered by email worldwide.
What if I’m not happy with my caricature?
One round of revisions is included with every order. If you’re still not satisfied, Sébastien will work with you until it meets your expectations.
How long does delivery take?
Digital files arrive the same evening if you order before 6 PM ET, otherwise within 24 hours. Printed products (mugs, canvas, posters, socks…) take 7–12 business days in total: 24 hours for the drawing, then US printing and shipping.
