About me

My name is Brian Morrison. 

I began drawing caricatures at primary school.  Mostly of the teachers.  I didn't work professionally until 2002.  My work takes me around the country, and occasionally down south. 

I enjoy working at functions.  I get the opportunity to visit and sample some fantastic venues.  Meeting the people is also an important part of my work.  I love the atmosphere.  It's a pleasure to be part of these occasions, whether it is a corporate function or a birthday party.  Well known personalities that I have had the pleasure of meeting and capturing on paper include; Sir Jimmy Saville, John Leslie, Martin O'Neill, Frank Carson & Neil Lennon.

The style that I use at functions is, capturing the image of someone, (Always a volunteer) on A4 art paper.  I use a soft pencil, and the picture is finished in roughly 3 minutes.  I also accept commissions for more detailed coloured caricatures.  These are framed and ready to hang on the wall.

The Silhouette cutting is a new art form that I am really excited about.  I say new, but, the art of silhouette cutting has been around since the nineteenth century.  It is a classic art form.  Very French and very exquisite.  Your guest's profiles are quickly cut, freehand on black art paper, then mounted on the spot for a truely memorable souvenir.
