Hiho,

Was thinking about getting a painting or a sketch done of the car. Any one had one of these done? ... Where should I start looking? .... How much does it cost? Etc ...?

TIA

There was a chap (think he might advertise in Sprint?) who had some fairly nice black and white prints/sketches of the TVR range which he personalises with reg numbers and shading (according to light or dark exterior.)

We had a few done at H L Gorner. If no-one else comes up with his name I'll have a look at home tonight!

My other half has done these for years normally colour or black and white pencil drawings. A3 ish size depending upon requirements. She has drawn all my bikes and is just about to do my Griff. She will be at the growl if you are interested.

To be honest, I have no idea as to what I want, or how much I should consider paying for it!

Hence my opening this up to the PH Massive!

So any and all examples of style, price, etc ... (is there an etc? ) will be gratefully appreciated!

So if you have got one done, please post it so that I can see what styles are out there.

I was at a classic car show about 5 years ago and there was an artist there called Ron Appleyard who was doing commissioned sketches and prints of cars.

He took some photos of my Jensen Healey and a few weeks later I received an original mounted sketch.

I was very pleased with it and IIRC it cost about £40.

You can see examples of his work on this website.

Hi

Try

www.debrawenlock.co.uk

She did a commission for a friend to do a Ferret armoured car - and I commissioned her to do a picture of a V8S a few years ago. Both were brilliant.

She has since been accepted as a member of the Guild of Motoring Artists, and I think her prices have gone up as a result, but looking at her website a commission is between £300 and £700.

Highly recommended

Mark

Personally, I think this guy is great.

His work really is 'a work of art'.

I don't know this guy but came across his profile when flicking through forums.

Not sure on pricing, or if this is the sort of thing you're after but the standard of work here is phenomenal

'timmyart' on the forums...

You're unlikely to hear from little LG for another week though as I think he's still on holiday for the minute. His cousin, Dangermouse, might also be able to help. His stuff looks like this:



He's also very familiar with TVRs if that makes any difference. Drop me a mail if you want his mobile number.
