Turning your photographs into artwork

Pricing
​
Please contact me for pricing by sending me a photo of your subject/s. Postage outside New Zealand will be an additional cost. Framing NOT included in the initial quoted price. I do have a framing supplier and can provide this if required. This will also be an additional cost.
Sizes above are paper sizes only. Drawings will be slightly smaller to allow for future framing requirements.
Choosing a photograph
​
You need to choose a photograph that captures the character and personality of the subject. It is also important that the photograph is of good quality. This is crucial to the process. Greater detail allows for a higher quality drawing. I can also assist with choosing the best photograph from an artists point of view.
​
Customers must supply the photograph. If you are wanting to use a photograph taken by a professional photographer, please provide approval to use the image in writing.

Booking and Payment
​
Once you have chosen the reference photograph, you will need to choose the size of drawing which will suit best. Please feel free to ask me if you would like an artists opinion for this.
Please be aware that drawings can take between 1-5 weeks to complete. If the drawing is required by a certain date this must be taken into account. I may have commissions booked in advance so please get in touch as soon as possible to avoid any delays.
To book in advance, I will require a 50% NZD non-refundable deposit. I cannot book you a spot until this payment has been received.
An Invoice along with any terms and conditions will be emailed to you with bank details for direct credit payments. The final invoice will only be emailed through once the drawing is completed and you are happy with it. The deposit amount will be subtracted off the final invoice.
Updates during the drawing process
​
Photo updates can be provided to keep you posted on progress. These can also be kept secret if the artwork is destined to be used as a gift or commemorative piece. Please let me know if you wish to delay posting to my social media pages to not ruin any birthday or special occasion.
​
Once the drawing is complete and final payment received, the artwork will be packed and shipped for delivery to you on the next working day.
I hold the copyright to all commissioned artworks created and can re-produce or use the artwork how I see fit. Customers do not have the right to reproduce any artworks. Please let me know if this may be an issue before paying your deposit.
