Commissioning the artist...

All of his art is hand-painted with gouache on watercolour paper, with gold leaf and shell gold where appropriate. For an additional fee, he is able to provide a digital version of the arms for reproduction purposes (such as on letterhead and business cards). Father is not accepting complicated commissions at the moment.
