Before you commission a drawing

What to send

Three or four photographs of the house, the pet or the shop, in daylight, and one sentence about why it matters.

How long

Six weeks from the day you say yes to the pencil sketch. I take four commissions at a time.

What it costs

£180 for A4, £260 for A3, unframed. Half when you approve the sketch, half when you have it.

The original

Is yours. I keep a scan and may put it in a zine, with your permission and never with your address.

Ask about a drawing
Dried lavender, a knitted blanket and small printed cards on a wooden table.

Issue 13 is at the printer
