How It Works

Well, you've already taken the first step. Below, I'll walk you through the process.

1. Contact me (figured I would start with the easy one). mike.mgsabc@gmail.com

Please see "Contact Us" page for form

2. I will send you or ask you a few questions to figure out exactly what you want. Expect questions such as "what size", "what medium" (what do you want me to paint on), or "Any special instructions". Note: The more details you give the happier you will be with the results.

3. Send me your photograph(s) by E-Mail or U.S. Postage (snail mail). The larger the photograph(s) the better the painting. Note: As you might have guessed, a higher quality photograph will yield a more detailed work of art.

4. I will send you an estimate for a time to complete and your cost. Once I have received your payment, I will begin to work on your order(s). Note: The larger and more detailed your order the more time it will take.

As a side note, my preferred method of payment is www.paypal.com

 

5. I will update you periodically. Every day or two I will send you an E-Mail letting you know what stage I am in, as well as photographs so you can see your money at work. I do this because I know you'll be anxious to see the results.

6. I will ship your order once you order has dried. For most parcels I will ship U.S. Postage, First Class. If you require your order sooner, I will be more than happy to accomodate you!
