art for keepsakes

  The beauty of hand drawn art is you can add or subtract anything in the photo to have an original piece to your specifications.  Consider carefully what you would like done and choose if possible a clear photo/s.  The best ones are natural spur of the moment shots as they show the character more clearly - though of course if it is of a building etc., any clear shot will do.

​

  PLEASE NOTE:  If the photo was taken by a Professional Photographer, due to Copyright Law, you must get the photographer's permission in writing.  Like myself, they have put in a lot of work into their craft and deserve this courtesy.

​

  Decide what size and specifications of which we will discuss by email or phone and when a decision is made an order will be placed which will be sent to you with an invoice of a 20% non refundable deposit. Once the deposit is received, with a photo/s I will send you a receipt.  Please if possible send a description of the character of the subject/s with the photo.  You can email the photo for me to start with but I will need a hard copy as they show more detail than a print out - and be sure to send a COPY if possible - not the original incase it is the only one you have.

​

  The next step is I will draw a draft and send for your approval or input, then progress reports until the final work for your approval and input.  Once finalised, and invoice for the remainder along with postage will be sent to you  (packaging and handling is inclusive in the artwork price)  and once received the work will be sent to you with a receipt.

​

  The artwork is unframed to cut down on costs to the mutual benefit of you and myself, and also allows you to pick your own frame to suit your taste.

​

  PROOFREADING involves checking spelling, grammar and punctuation.  EDITING is an extra service ensuring you have used the right words, continuity and advice on how to present your work.
