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:
