Frequently asked
What's a good birthday gift for a close friend?
A framed magazine cover or caricature portrait. It's personal, it's funny, and it's unlike anything else they'll get.
Is this a weird gift for a friend?
Not if you pick a bold style. The sentimental styles are for family; pop art and magazine cover are for friends.
