Commissions

Have someone you love drawn by hand.

Pets, people, characters — anything with a face worth studying. I take a small number of commissions each month so nothing gets rushed, and every drawing is made from a photograph you send.

A recent commission

Drawn from the photos someone sent me.

Most commissions start with a phone snap: a face, a favourite expression, the way the ears sit. That's all I need to work from, and it's what makes each one look like the animal you actually live with.

How it works

  1. 01

    Enquiry

    You send the form, the photographs and any deadline. I reply with a quote and a start date.

  2. 02

    Rough sketch

    You see the layout before the final paper. Changes are free at this stage.

  3. 03

    The drawing

    Two to three weeks, longer for multiple subjects. Progress photos halfway through.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Mounted, wrapped in tissue and board, posted tracked and insured.
