What Clients Are Saying
"I wanted to let you know I received the canvas of Benji today. My dad was present with me when I opened it and it absolutely brought tears to our eyes. I cannot wait to see my moms reaction. You are amazing and you do amazing work. Words cannot express how thankful I am that you too the time to portray him so perfectly. Thank you so much. I hope your business continues to flourish."
“What a talent! I am l overwhelmed. The whole experience has been a pleasure and the outcome a joyful one. I am so pleased I found you Shaymus. Your guidance and helpful communication has resulted in such a beautiful portrait and I am thrilled to have something do beautiful for my husbands birthday. Thank you so much.”
"Shaymus was professional throughout and kept us updated on when we could expect the portrait to be completed. There are no words to describe how happy we are with the outcome and I could not recommend Shaymus enough. Our friends think this portrait is a picture due to the detail and realistic look and we are so so proud to have it up on the wall in our lounge for everyone to see. Do not hesitate any longer, message Shaymus to do your portrait… you will not regret it, promise!!"
“Shaymus is an absolutely amazing artist. I am just blown away by his detail and artistry! His communication was excellent. The shipping was super fast! When he realised this was being sent to me in the US, he took the extra time to package my portrait carefully to ensure it would get to me safely. He just exceeded my expectations and loved this buying experience. And my pet portrait is BRILLIANT!! I love it so much! I am so happy with how it turned out, I purchased another one!”
"When I came across Shaymus’ page, I was in awe of the talent. But, the portrait I received exceeded every expectation I had. Shaymus helped me choose a photo he thought would work best and kept me updated throughout the entire process. He captured every detail and I couldn’t be happier with the piece! So much care was taken to package the portrait to ensure it made it to the US safely! It was a gift for my boyfriend but now, I need to order one for myself! :)"
“From inception to completion (including much-needed help with the frame selection), I had complete confidence in the evolution process of a sketch into a perfectly detailed portrait of my son’s late, beloved dog, Homer. Shaymus, who kept me fully informed throughout the process, has captured Homer’s warmth, devotion, sweet natured spirit and given him life, the detail is so beautiful, you almost feel you could reach out and touch him. I would like to extend a warm thank you to Shaymus and would highly recommend this exceptionally gifted artist.”
“I just want to say thank you so much for how truly beautiful it is! I can not get my head around how perfectly you have captured him and it honestly looks like I’m going to reach out and be able to feel him there! ... Myself and all owners of one of your portraits are so lucky to be able to have something you’ve managed to capture so well! I just want to say Thank you so much for bringing my best pal a lil closer back to me!“

Process of Booking & Completing Your Portrait
1
- First, please complete the commission submission form below. I will then email you to let you know an estimated completion time depending on my current schedule. If happy, please reply to my email with your reference photo(s) and any other information you would like me to know. I will then send you a mock-up of your reference photo with the selected background ideas, cropped to the exact dimensions of your chosen paper size.
2
- When you’re happy with the idea, I will send you a link through my website to pay the first 50% of the portrait cost. Once paid, I will soon work on your portrait’s composition sketch. After you have approved the composition sketch, I will keep this stored away safely until your time comes in my schedule for me to start work on your portrait.
3
- As soon as I have completed the drawing, I will send you a photo of the result and ask if any changes are needed. Once the artwork is to your satisfaction, I will send you the second and final payment link through my website to pay the remaining 50% + shipping costs. After the payment is complete, I will safely package up your portrait and send it with full UPS tracking information.

Important Extra Information
I currently do not offer framing options, however, I personally use frame-company.co.uk and they have very kindly given my clients a promotional offer at checkout for 15% off using the code ‘ShaymusArt‘. I highly recommend their professional and good valued service (not sponsored).
I don’t include illustrated backgrounds in the price but do offer a colour, or a colour gradient of your choice. If you wish to have a background illustrated, I can give you a quote depending on how complex the background is. Portrait background colour ideas can be found HERE.
Each portrait comes with a 10% off voucher for a future portrait. This can be redeemed by the commissioner or by a friend who would like their own portrait. Your portrait will also include a certificate of authenticity & a downloadable process reel.
Shipping is done via UPS and is priced at affordable & fair rates, I aim to keep these costs as low as possible. Your portrait will come with tracking info as soon as it’s sent. This is paid along with the remaining 50% portrait cost upon completion. Check rates HERE.
Payments are securely made through my website’s checkout via PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can check out with your card as guest.
If you need your commission completed by a particular time, please let me know in your commission submission.
If you would like to write up a few sentences about his/her personality, I would love to hear it. It helps me incorporate a true sense of them into the portrait.
If you would like 4+ subjects or a larger paper size, please get in touch for a custom quote.
