FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

ORIGINALS 

Which of your products are original? 

All Paintings, Illustrations and Fan Art are original art created by me. Prints are the reproductions of the original art, occasionally with modifications made by the printer to the resolution and colour. 

Where can I see all of your work?

My website does not show my full portfolio. Please go to my Facebook photo albums to explore more original art from me. You can also see a snapshot of my style of work and methodology on my Instagram. I regularly use Pinterest for inspiration and to create themed boards. Please contact me if you see something you like that is not listed in my online stores. 

PRINTS 

Do you make prints of all of your work?

I don’t make prints of every illustration or painting. However, if you see an original you like but would prefer a print of, please contact me for more details. 

SIZES 

What size is your work?

The size of my work varies. Prints range between A5 and A0. Illustrations and Fan Art are usually A4 or A3. Typically Paintings on paper and canvas are between 30x30cm and 120x120cm. My current work space does not allow for work much bigger than this even though I would love to make larger scale pieces! 

COMMISSIONS 

Can you work with any photo for a portrait commission?

 

I can only work with what I see in an image or a photo as unfortunately I can’t imagine what is not there. My work is an interpretation of the original image provided. I have found that I am not able to work with some photos. Older photos will affect the level of detail I am able to get from the original as I work by zooming in and out on a digital device to achieve likeness. It may be possible to work with two images together – for example, a portrait and a background. 

What is the process for a commission?

I am happy to discuss any ideas you have to bring them to life and I can research images if you don’t have one for me to work with – for example, a celebrity portrait for Fan Art. I will provide you with a full brief we both agree on before commencing the commission and I require a 50% deposit to begin. 

Do you provide progress shots?

I don’t tend to provide photos of the work at a midway point because there is often still a lot to be resolved at this stage. I usually only provide progress shots of my own series.

PRICING 

How much do you charge for your work?

I operate fixed pricing for the Paintings, Illustrations, Prints and Fan Art listed in my online stores on my website, Etsy and Bluethumb. 

I operate value pricing for commissions which is dependent on size, medium, materials, difficulty and time.  

MATERIALS 

What mediums do you work in?

I typically work in graphite pencil and acrylic paint but I can also work in coloured pencil, charcoal, pastel, ink, watercolour and oil.
