Commissions

Engaging in bespoke illustration projects is undoubtedly the most gratifying aspect of my work as a freelance illustrator. There's an inherent joy in receiving an email about a commission for a custom illustration of a client's home or business.

Typically, I embark on a comprehensive process, starting with a visit to the property to capture a plethora of photographs from various perspectives. Additionally, clients often provide me with imagery of their property.

I meticulously curate these images into a cohesive layout. Following this, I reconnect with the client to review the proposed design, remaining receptive to any feedback or adjustments they may have. Crafting each illustration is a labour-intensive endeavour, typically spanning several days to ensure meticulous attention to detail.

As a signature touch, I integrate a snippet from a local newspaper into each illustration, adding a unique dimension to the artwork. Upon completion of the illustration, I take great care to assemble a bespoke, one-of-a-kind personal greeting card to accompany it, further enhancing the client's experience.


Reviews

I’ve had some lovely feedback after each commission. Here are a few:

“ This illustration of our house is perfect, my wife was very happy indeed with the surprise. Many thanks”.

“That was wonderful service, many thanks for a very special illustration of Thame Cricket Pavilion, and not forgetting the special Over 60’s Cricket Teams cards you very kindly Illustrated for us.”.

“Just seen your lovely artwork framed in Thame in Mint Velvet, great display!”

“Quite splendid Thame Calendars, I love your illustrations.”
