What are bespoke illustrations?
Personalised illustration can be created based on your photos, memories, places or a combination to create a special picture or gift.

Who are personalised illustrations for?
Anyone! Companies, landmark, individuals to use as a gift or for promotional materials and branding.

How do custom illustrations work?
I can create a detailed illustration using information and images you give me. For example: to mark a retirement, I was provided with a location (The Lighthouse in Portishead), a photo of the retiree, a picture of their beloved pet and the ship they worked on; I then pieced together the scene using my creativity and illustration skills.
TESTIMONIAL #1:
I am so pleased I contacted Emily and asked her to commission a special piece for my husband‘s retirement gift. She has been a delight to work with. Very open to suggestions but also responding with her own very creative ideas, the whole process ran smoothly and in a very timely and efficient way. I never felt I was asking a silly question and she was happy to tweak the final draft until it was just perfect. We are both absolutely delighted with the final print, beautiful colours and a sturdy mount, a highly personal and bespoke piece, we can’t thank you enough Emily .

They loved the book. In fact they were quite overwhelmed at first and it took them a few days to read it all. They said it was the most amazing thing they had ever seen and could not believe all the fantastic illustrations. All the family and friends equally thought it was great, in fact many were speechless!

The process - how I produce a bespoke illustration:

  1. Firstly - get in touch for a quote
  2. We will discuss your requirements, what you are hoping to achieve, details about specific features  you want illustrated, if you have a company branding you'd like me to integrate the illustration with etc. At this point the size is not set in stone as I create my illustrations as vectors, which can be stretched to any scale without losing quality. I can also help you get the illustration printed on a huge variety of formats / stocks / merchandise once it is finished.
  3. You will provide  me with the photo or sketch you'd like illustrated and I start to build the image.
  4. I provide you with a first rough draft for layout feedback and check the style is how you envisaged, feedback is given.
  5. I then carry on developing the illustration and provide another more advanced / almost finished illustration. Any more feedback can be given and tweaks done at my hourly rate at this point, or final high res versions are provided if the client is happy.
  6. Once the image is finished it can be used for an endless number of things. If you want your office building illustrated- why not use an outlined version of the illustration on your stationery? Or convert it into a Christmas card? I can do this for you. 
  7. Turn around time is within a week from when you provide all photos / sketches and details, depending on the complexity of the illustration.
