I’ve produced countless bespoke images over the years for birthdays, anniversaries, invitations, congratulations and the like. These have mostly been for friends and family but I’ve also had a number of private commissions for this sort of personalised illustration. Although by their nature they tend not to be the most lucrative jobs, they are frequently among the most enjoyable to work on, which I think comes across in the resulting artwork.
If there’s anything you’d like to commemorate with a similarly unique piece of commissioned art, give me a shout!
