#36. Wildlife Illustration Commission

I have just returned from a restful break in the North Island - well, restful in no earthshakes, not restful because we had to pack up and move house every other day (road trip).

However, in the interim Christchurch has suffered yet another jolt. Not a particularly major one - it measured 5.4 magnitude - however once again people have suffered from liquifaction and further damage to their properties, particularly in the eastern suburbs.

And here's a new commission:

#36. Wildlife Illustration Commission

This commission is for an illustrated piece by LemurKat. It will feature one animal of your choice - be it fish or fowl, mammal, reptile, insect or ... She is willing to try her hand at anything (although she would prefer no white tigers, please).

You will have an option of choosing Art Card size (2.5 x 3.5 inches - 6.4 x 9.0 cms) or photograph size (6 x 4 inches, 10 x 15 cms). Although a larger piece can be arranged.

About LemurKat:
LemurKat is a Zoology Geek and a Bibliophile rolled into one. This possibly explains why she has a Science Degree but chooses to work in a bookstore. Her love of the exotic and the unusual has led her on several overseas expeditions - to Australia, Hawaii and Madagascar, with further trips planned for the future. For now she lives happily in New Zealand with her wonderful (not-so-long-suffering) husband and spoilt inner child.

To "purchase" one of these pieces, you must follow three simple steps:
1. email art4chch@gmail.com with your name and the number of the piece. It will then be "held" for you.
2. Make a donation to the Red Cross Earthquake fund of $10 or more, make sure you put in an email address for your receipt.
3. Send a copy of your receipt email to art4chch@gmail.com along with your postage details.

#35. Alphabet Photo Cards especially designed for you

I (Wildgoose) will gladly digitally design and make a card for you or someone special to you from any letter of the alphabet!

Surreal and whimsical, the examples shown are designed around the letters T and K. Each card has 12 things on it inspired by that letter, and it’s own decorative border .
The border is repeated inside the card upon which you can write a personal greeting or message.

Made of sturdy cardstock, the card dimensions are 5x6.5 inches/12.7x16.5 cm and come with their own envelopes . Your pictures will be printed on gloss photo paper on an Epsom printer with Durabrite pigment ink.

Want a certain something included in the picture? Tell me, and I’ll do my best to incorporate it into the design!
