Vintage Storybook
Pen, watercolour and a garden gate. The hero of their own small adventure.
Fine ink lines and soft washes, in the spirit of the books read aloud at bedtime a century ago.
A nursery favourite, and a very good one for grown-ups who never quite stopped reading them.
Approved by you
You approve every portrait before it's made. Two revisions, should they be needed.

Framed to give

Questions
Is the preview really free?
Yes. Send up to three photographs, choose a style and your sitter appears in about a minute. No card, no account.
What if it isn't quite them?
You approve every portrait before it's made. If something is off, ask for a revision; two are included.
Can you keep the details other portraits miss?
That is rather the point. Extra toes, odd eyes, a missing leg, a notched ear. Tell us, and it stays.
How is it painted?
Digitally, from your photographs, in the manner of the style you choose. Then printed on archival paper or canvas and framed by hand.
