Desperately seeking a dog caricaturist for a Xmas present

Oh no I can't edit the heading! It sounds like I want to buy a caricaturist instead of actually wanting to commission a picture! ....... Hi so sorry if this is in the wrong place but no idea where to post - please move it accordingly. I am trying to find a caricaturist that preferably does funny dog pictures from a photo. I found one beginning with Elin.. but she just doesn't have time sadly and am really disappointed as her work is fantastic. Hopefully it won't be too expensive going somewhere else as funds are limited but I want something really funny to cheer my mother up - she really needs a good laugh and calls my dog her 'grandson' :rotfl: Thanks for any suggestions
Thank you to all posters - you are fabulous!!! :beer:

    If you wanted something a bit different, check out Quernus Crafts website. She makes really lifelike polymer clay models of animals. You just send her some piccies of the animal in question and she will make it! They are amazing! She does funny ones too like this little slash mouse........

    I can recommend this man, Jules is his name, we had him do a caricature for sisters wedding and he did it brilliantly with every detail we asked.

    He has also done a campaign for Purina Felix so hes used to doing animals and when i bought from him the cost was good as it was a big picture. :)
