Commission information and fees
SOURCE MATERIAL - to create my art I work from photographs. These can be scanned
and emailed (high resolution at 300ppi preferred), sent through the post, or using the Photo~Mailer facility below.
For best results make sure photos are taken at the subject's eye-level and as sharp as possible. Anything under 3" in photo size will diminish the final quality of the commission. The more information I have to work with, the more lifelike the end result. All photos are returned upon completion.
PRICING - There are 3 signature sizes available. 7x7" square, A4 (8" × 12") and A3 (16" × 12") dimensions. I can work to larger and more precise specifications if required. Please email me to discuss arrangements. Here is a simple price list, including mounting/matting:
ORDERING PROCESS - I will require a 50% deposit together with the reference photographs. The following 50% is due upon completion and acceptance of the finished artwork, prior to shipping. I shall supply scanned updates for customer approval.
PAYMENT METHOD - I accept payment through cheque, payable to Giles Illsley or credit card via PayPal. Please do not pay in cash as I cannot be held responsible for it's safe arrival.
FRAMING - Framing is available for collection only. Please for prices and details.
SHIPPING/HANDLING - Most flat or mounted work can be shipped worldwide. I regret that despatching framed pictures is not an option due to high risk of glass breakage and ensuing cost of protection. My shipping rates are as follows:
