Transform a photograph into a beautiful work of art by having it meticulously hand-drawn. Whether it's of your pet(s), your kid(s), a wedding photo, a family crest, or anything of your choosing, it makes a very personal and memorable gift - even if it's just for you!
#1 Requirement
Do you have a high-resolution, digital photo of the subject? This is very important so that I can clearly see the details in order to capture them.
What's Included?
- The original artwork is yours to keep (comes on a fine art paper that would need to be framed yourself, if desired)
- Free print of the artwork on photo paper
- Free digital scan of the finished artwork (for archiving and sharing online)
- Free digital photos of how the artwork was created from start to finish
- Free delivery of the completed project within Edmonton, otherwise shipping charges will apply
Things to Consider
- What size do you want the final piece to be?
- Do you want it to be black and white, 1 colour, or multiple colours? (this coincides with the chosen medium)
- What medium would you like? (I specialize in pencils, pencil crayons, and ink/markers)
Pricing
Custom artwork does cost significantly more than buying a ready-made print, because not only are you buying the
original work of art, you are paying for the time and labour to create it.
You will be quoted upfront with an estimate of the total costs based on the size and specs of your project. To help give you an idea of what to expect, common sizes and their approximate price ranges are provided below.

Since every project is unique, the labour ranges are based on varying complexities of the artwork to give you approximate prices.
Some quotes may fall outside of the ranges.
Turnaround Time
Since my primary career is in Web Design & Development, my spare time for artwork is limited. The turnaround time can vary significantly based on the size and complexity of your desired project, as well as when you would ideally like to have it done by. Do
contact me with what you have in mind and we'll see if we can work it out!
