***BIG EDIT - 20.3.2013***

I am now able to offer custom commissions again from original photographs. All images are total one offs and will never be offered as 'print. Prices now start from £60 including printing and postage. (This is a higher price than in the past, but reflects an increase in my normal hourly rate, higher postage and printing costs as well as a higher quality product as my skills improved.)

Example of latest work:

Hey all.
This is a relaunch of an earlier topic so that newcomers can see all images without trawling through pages of posts.


I'm a graduate illustrator offering custom car portraits, I love drawing Minis but will take on pretty any challenge.
I draw and paint all my work from scratch on the computer.
If anyone is interested in a totally bespoke commission of their car, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Typical turnaround for a portrait should be 2-3 weeks.

Prices:
An illustration of one vehicle will cost £60 at A4 or £70 for A3. Larger prints are possible but require more expensive printing and postage, therefore prices will be worked out individually. Any other combinations such as multiple vehicles, combined images etc can also be accommodated.

For any further information, or to ask about your commission, please drop me PM

Here's some examples of illustrations and commissions I've completed already,

Thanks folks

busy in here huh? :s

I'm calling my commissions off for a while guys. It sucks not having the extra cash flow, but while I get to grips with my new uni course I just don't have the time to spend on them.

When things ease up a little I'll give this a bump and try to get things kick started again
(i like the phrase 'kick start' - gives the impression of someone who's tried jump leads, battery chargers and the good old bump start, all to no avail, and has resorted to just giving the car a good booting :D)

**EDIT**

Old information, poster and unnecessary images removed, including website info, which sadly no longer exists.

*************************************************



Several people have bought portraits as great personal presents, so this could be a good opportunity on the first steps towards Christmas ;-)


If anyone's interested, please PM me for more details.
Commissions aren't restricted to Minis, I'm happy to accept pretty much any vehicle.
All I need to work from is one decent photo and I can turn a piece around within a week usually :-)

I work in photoshop, but they are still fully bespoke artworks. I draw from scratch using a graphics tablet. No filters here :(
