SOURCE MATERIAL - to create my art I work from photographs. These can be scanned and emailed (high resolution preferred (ie: 300dpi), sent through the post, or using the Photo~Mailer facility below.

For best results make sure photos are taken at the subject's eye-level and as sharp as possible. Anything under 3" in photo size will diminish the final quality of the commission. The more information I have to work with, the more lifelike the end result. All photos are returned upon completion.

PRICING - There are 3 signature sizes available. 7x7" square, A4 and A3 dimensions. I can work to larger and more precise specifications if required. Please email me to discuss arrangements. Here is a simple price list, including mounting/matting:

• These prices do not include shipping/handling.

TIMESCALES - Most work is completed within 7-10 working days upon receipt of reference photographs. Ensure a few days either side to allow for shipping. For special occasions (ie birthdays/anniversaries/Christmas) please book in advance to avoid disappointment.

ORDERING PROCESS - I will require a 50% deposit together with the reference photographs. The following 50% is due upon completion and acceptance of the finished artwork, prior to shipping. I shall supply scanned updates for customer approval.

PAYMENT METHOD - I accept payment through cheque, payable to Giles Illsley or credit card via PayPal. Please do not pay in cash as I cannot be held responsible for it's safe arrival.

SHIPPING/HANDLING - Most flat or mounted work can be shipped worldwide. I regret that despatching framed pictures is not an option due to high risk of glass breakage and ensuing cost of protection. My shipping rates are as follows:
