we're thinking of having one done as a memorial for Jet, haven't found the right picture yet (hundreds to trawl through - tissues in hand  :RIP:)

They are absolutely stunning pictures!

Sorry, Craig. I missed the thread - that's amazing. I meant to ask, if someone wants two cats in one portrait does that cost £20 or is it double due to it being two subjects?

(I'm considering saving and getting one for my cousin for Christmas - her and her partner have been a huge help to me recently. :))

Well my portraits arrived in the post this afternoon  :Luv2: :Luv2: I can't possible express just how impressed I am with Mr Craig. Phenomenal artwork and VERY speedy. I only emailed him the pictures on Wednesday afternoon and I had two portraits in my hand at 2:30pm today  :wow: :wow: :wow:

Just need to get 2 frames now!!!!!

I honestly cannot recommend him enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - I noticed Molly and Mig are both up on Craig website.

I've just had a good old gander around your website too. I adore the basset hound picture, you've really captured the emotion. I'll keep you updated on the progress of our local CP auction but at the mo we're waiting till we get some really good lots. Another local CP branch did an auction recently and made us proud (and jealous) of the effort and dedication it takes to aquire all those wonderful goodies.

Really appreciate the help though Craig  :hug:

 :wow: :wow: :wow: I'd like to personally recommend Craig.
He's finished doing both Molly and Mig's portrait and in only TWO days. He's done a phenomenal job with the pair of them. Especially since Molly was his first Collie and Mig his first ever rabbit!!!!

Oooo can't wait for them to arrive, they really are brilliant!!!

Definately going to get Memphis done by him in a few months.
