Mugshot Mug | Personalised Caricature From Your Photo
- Handpressed in Sussex
- Dishwasher Safe
- Smash-Proof Packaging
- One Year Guarantee
Your photo. Illustrated on a mug.
Upload a clear photo of your photo and our illustrator will draw three portrait takes for you to choose from. Pick your favourite and it drops straight onto your mug preview — then it goes into our press queue, with no proof email to wait for.
A clear, front-on head shot works best. Good light, face on view, nothing obscuring the features.
Anything worth capturing — glasses, beard, freckles, a scar, dimples. Tell us which side as you look at them.

About this mug
A brilliant likeness that raises a smile every morning. Upload a photo and our Mugshot studio turns it into a warm, painterly caricature — printed right around the mug in either rich colour or classic pencil sketch. Every one is unique to the person on it, whether it's a treasured family member, the office legend or your best mate.
Here's how it works: choose your style (colour caricature or sketch), upload a clear head-and-shoulders photo, and hit generate. In moments you'll get three caricatures to choose from — simply pick your favourite. Add a caption if you'd like one on the mug — "Legend", "The Don", "World's Okayest Dad" or anything you fancy (up to 30 characters, with plenty of preset ideas to steal). Once you're happy, place your order and we'll press your commission.
Made to order in our Sussex studio, each mug is hand-pressed on premium stock that keeps the colours looking sharp wash after wash. Available in a range of sizes and finishes — including elegant Bone China for a really special gift.
Every mug comes with our 1-Year Print Guarantee — if the print fades or peels under normal use, we'll replace it. Hand-checked and carefully packed in double-walled smash-proof packaging, dispatched ready to gift.
