I have seen my customers give custom cartoon drawings for birthdays, holidays, going away presents, and many other special occasions. However John S. of Warrenton, VA was the first to use one of my drawings to propose to his girlfriend! Here’s the scoop on what John requested from me:

“My name is John and about 5 months ago my girlfriend and I became a hedgehog owning couple (where I found out about your website). Next month we are heading for a vacation in Germany and I’m planning on proposing. I would like to incorporate one of your cartoons into that process. If you could, I would like to get a cartoon hedgehog dressed in typical German Lederhosen, holding out an engagement ring with the words, “Will you marry me?” arching above the cartoon. Let me know what you think!”

Too cool! I’m really honored that John chose to use my artwork to help with a monumental life event. I heard from John this past week in an email, and he told me that she said YES…and included these photos:
