Commissions, made by hand.
You bring the idea and I’ll bring the pencils, paints and plenty of time at the drawing board. We’ll work out what matters most to you before I turn it into a one-of-a-kind original that’s unmistakably yours, with an artist’s touch no photograph or filter can quite replicate.
A few possibilities
Whether it’s something for your own home or a gift for someone who matters to you, there’s something special about having a piece made with time, care and attention. Most requests begin with one of these three.
People
Portraits of your nan, your best mate or your secret celebrity crush.
Pets
Your furry family members (no, not Uncle Dave) deserve just as much space on the wall as your graduation photos.
Places
Your first home, your team’s home ground or even the local chippy. A landmark doesn’t have to be famous to mean something.
Perhaps something else?
People, pets and places cover most of what I paint, but they’re not a rulebook. If you have something different in mind, I’m always happy to hear it.
Two sizes, nice and simple
Choose whichever suits the piece and the space you have in mind. UK delivery is included with both.
A5
£85
148 × 210 mm. Compact, easy to frame and a lovely size for a desk or dresser.
A4
£145
210 × 297 mm. More room for the artwork to breathe, with extra space for finer details.
Both prices include one main subject and a simple background or wash. Additional subjects, detailed backgrounds or particularly involved ideas may change things slightly, but I’ll always agree the final price with you before I begin.
How it works
01
Tell me what you have in mind
Send me your idea and the clearest reference photos you have. I’ll check that the subject, references and level of detail are workable before we go any further.
02
We agree the details
I’ll confirm the size, final price and likely timescale. A 50% deposit by PayPal or bank transfer locks your piece into my diary, and I won’t begin work until it’s received.
03
You approve the drawing
I’ll prepare the pencil layout and send it to you before any ink or paint goes down. One minor revision is included at this stage, so this is the best point to flag any small changes.
04
I make the finished piece
Once you’re happy with the drawing, I’ll move on to ink and watercolour. Most pieces are finished within 2–4 weeks of pencil approval, depending on workload and complexity, and I’ll let you know if anything changes.
05
Final payment and delivery
I’ll send you photos of the finished artwork first. The remaining 50% is due before dispatch, then I’ll package the original securely and send it by Royal Mail tracked delivery. UK delivery is included.
A quick note on reference photos
A clear primary reference makes a big difference to the finished artwork. Extra photos can also be useful for colours, markings, facial details or anything that isn’t obvious in the main image. If I don’t think the references give me enough to work from, I’ll ask for something clearer before accepting the job.
Once the pencil layout has been approved, larger changes may affect the price or timescale because the final ink and watercolour work will already be underway. I’ll always discuss that with you before making any changes.
