How It Goes
Send your photo
High resolution, good light, taken close. I'll tell you honestly whether it will make a strong drawing before you pay anything.
Pay half to book
Non-refundable — it holds studio time I can't resell. UK clients can split it into three interest-free monthly payments via PayPal or Stripe.
Up to 30 working days
From an approved photo and cleared deposit. Progress photos come to you as the piece develops, so nothing is a surprise.
Balance, then it ships
Framed, packed and sent by tracked courier from the Basingstoke studio.
“My wife went quiet when she opened it. That has never happened with a gift before.”

“I sent him a blurry photo from 2011 and got my father's face back. It's in the hallway where everyone sees it.”
