I occasionally undertake personal commissions. The gallery of greeting cards will give you an idea of my scribing style, and this page features a few of my larger pieces.
- single items for display, or a new greetings card made up to your own specifications. Lots of advice & consultation on the way to ensure the finished design is just what you wanted. Many friends have commented on how much they enjoy this process.
I usually suggest a donation of an hourly rate of about £15.00 per hour. I can offer an estimate of how long it is likely to take prior to commencing work.

It is also possible to commission the design of a new greetings card. This can be a highly interactive process, both in sharing your initial ideas, and in approving the final layout. Apart from the scribing and any hand-drawn elements, much of the layout work is undertaken on a desktop PC and you can get involved as much as you like. You can also contribute personal elements (photos, drawings) which you would like including.
Several of the greetings cards already displayed were originally private commissions. Please contact me if you are interested.
