Commission Bespoke Signs & Art

For your home, business, event or special gift

It is a joy to connect with my client, discuss ideas and then create a beautiful sign art work that is completely unique and tailored specifically to your requirements.

Things to CONSIDER

The more information the better so try to include things like your location, budget and possible deadlines.

What is the occasion; is it a gift, for a special event, or for home or business? Wil it be interior or exterior or both? Would you like it framed, unframed, with holes for fixing or maybe it will be leaning on a shelf or picture ledge?

Any idea of lettering style (formal/casual/fun/fancy/classic) and would you like decorative elements like scrolls, borders, flowers or other pictorial elements? Consider your colour scheme too and whether you would like gold leaf incorporated into the design.

Maybe you have an inspiring piece of letter art/ an image/ favourite quote/ name/ special date/ or your own logo that you wish to replicate? Anything else you’d like me to know?

Don’t worry if you haven’t a fixed idea, I am here to help and guide you! I will draw up sketch designs showing colour swatches, lettering options & samples to give you a clear visualisation of your perfect sign or artwork.

Process

Get in touch with an idea of what you’d like. Use the form opposite for the info I need from you.

I will discuss your ideas further and give you options to mull over, with an indication of costs and timeframes.

If that all sounds good, I’ll send you an invoice for a deposit.

Once that’s paid, I’ll start designing. I will create thumbnail sketches and digital mock ups to show various colour options and gold samples if appropriate,

When you’re happy with the design, I’ll start painting your unique sign artwork!

The final invoice is due when I send you photos of the finished sign and as soon as it’s paid I’ll send your sign via courier or you are welcome to collect it from my studio,

Please allow plenty of time, my turnaround is between 1-3 weeks depending on the size, detail and any materials I may neeed to order.

Cake handlettered & hanpainted sign art

The client specified the word CAKE and asked for a colour scheme of pinks and blues. I sketched the design and then showed my client 3 thumbnail sketches in various colour combinations. My client found this really helpful as she was able to immediately pick out her favourite choice. I then carefuly hand painted her sign. After receiving this, the client had the piece framed. This was a birthday gift designed to be displayed on an interior wall.
