PORTRAIT COMMISSIONS OPEN

till December 1st 2025

Hi,

I have not done a newsletter in a few months, I think I got a bit confused about what I was using it for but its potentially useful now, to inform people that I have decided for the first time to offer portrait commissions.

I have always been making portraits for friends and family as gifts etc over the years but been too afraid to offer them to people as commissions. Mostly because I was worried that it could ruin the joy of drawing and that people might be dissappointed with their portraits but then recently I started thinking that it might be fun. So long as everyone understands that they will absolutely definitely NOT be getting a nice attractive realistic portrait, my style is crude and childish, so if thats what you are look for then here I am. You will receive a weird oil pastel drawing by me of you and/or your loved ones, which you will hopefully cherish forever and pass on to your great great grandchildren to haunt their dreams for eternity.

I have written some info on sizes and prices bellow (also included a funny and sweet personal example of a creepy recent portrait I did for my partners birthday, now framed on our wall<3) and you can either contact me on my instagram or email me to start the portrait process. I know it may seem early and we dont want to think about it yet but holiday season is approaching, so I am offering these now, as they could make nice heartfelt gifts for your friend or mum or dad or gran or lover or cat or dog etc. Also I will be busy and away for a lot of November but lots of time free in October to create your drawings for you. I will be closing the commissions on December 1st 2025, so I can finish up any portraits with time to post to you, before I will be going away for most of the month. Please get in contact if this is something you are interested in, I look forward to making some strange personal art for you :-)

Lots of love, Rachel x
