Nick it’s always very communicative and attentive to any request made. Delivery is timely. Great person to work with if you want a custom painting. His artwork examples are great and very reflective of his style. He also subtly and thoughtfully tries to make sure the painting transmits the feeling and the emotion you convey to him that you want to express. I would highly recommend him

Nick did an absolutely awesome job creating a special portrait of my family for my parent's anniversary. He guided me through the process in a very transparent and helpful manner and could not have made this easier. He completed the painting in the desired timeframes without ever feeling like it was rushed or delayed. The quality is fantastic as he really managed to capture our individual features so the portrait did not feel generic but specific to each of us. My parents were thrilled with the finished product and I could not recommend Nick more. He made a very special present come to life for us.

Nick was wonderful to work with, I had a challenging project which needed to be completed in a short time frame. Accepting this challenging Nick, made a beautiful art piece for me to give as a gift. Whilst giving suggestions and completing my requests, Nick is a truly amazing artist, but also great person to communicate with and you could tell he was genuinely invested into this project. Will be returning to him for future art pieces and would 100% recommend him to others!

Nick was so great to work with. He explained options simply (I know nothing of art!) and clearly. He kept me up to date with his progress and asked me for preferences on details as he went. The piece if absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to gift to my husband for his birthday!

Nick has been brilliant throughout the process, he has shared every step and asked for my feedback along the way. I couldn’t be happier with this gift for my partner for Christmas. He was talented enough to merge two photos I had given him to create a special moment we didn’t manage to capture on camera and for that I am extremely grateful. I couldn’t recommend Nick or his services more. I am sure my painting will end up on his portfolio - but I cannot post it for now as it’s a surprise (look out for the pub and the warm embrace infront of it!). Thanks again Nick!

Had such an easy time with Nick, in constant communication and was happy for my input. Not much was needed as he was pretty much on point from my initial description of what I was looking for. Minor alterations were needed and it was easy to discuss. I was happy for him to take his time with it as it’s a Christmas present and he said he could get it done for Sept and it was quicker than his estimation so all good in that regard. He took the significance of the piece on board and delivered.

Nick kindly completed a painting for me after responding first to my request. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with, open to my suggested amendments and kept me updated throughout the process. He also framed it for me and was very helpful with postage. My wife is delighted with the result which is a lovely painting.

I would highly recommend Nick for any project but especially if you have a vision you would like to create but are not sure how to bring it to life. Nick was extremely patient and encouraging and the finished work exceeded my expectations.

So i messaged Nick and introduced my story and why the pictures were so important. Nick left me feeling at ease even when it came to leaving the first payment i ware weary but Nick assured me and i sent. Frim then Nick kept in contact throughout the whole process. I chucked ideas at him and he managed to encorporate them into the drawing. I recieved my pictures today and there so much better then the pictures sent i cant stop looking at them. I will be hopefully ready to order some more after his well deserved holiday. Prices were fair for the work there wasnt much difference from a canvas picture but these have more meaning. I hope my pictures help you decide in choosing Nick as you wont be let doen and the quality speaks for itself. Thank you so much Nick Craig

Nick was amazing from start to finish. All he had was the ideas in the mind, and he brought them to life so beautifully. He checked in every step of the way, to make sure his work, matched my vision. I am delighted with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an artist. I have at least one other book in me and Nick will be my first port of call. Thank you.

Not enough words to describe how wonderful my picture turned out. If your looking for something special look no further than Nick. It is such a special place to our family and he captured it beautifully. It will sit on a easel at the church entrance to welcome guests to our daughters wedding taking place later in the year.

I loved working with Nick on my project. I can’t believe how easily he brought my characters and the story to life. Delighted with the care and attention he put into the work. He drafted illustrations and got the go ahead before adding ink and colour. He ensured that I was happy with the images and quality and was extremely prompt at replies. Nick was a pleasure to work with and made the process so easy.

Such an amazing artist. I threw so many ideas at Nick in the planning stage and I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to incorporate all of them. This could not have been further from the truth. The finished artwork was better than I could have imagined. All of my ideas were portrayed beautifully, advanced by some of Nicks own ideas. He is a true master and such a pleasure to work with. He truly does love creating these meaningful pieces and it 100% shows in the final product.

From start to finish, Nick was professional and communicative. The piece he created for me managed to bring out all the sentiments I wished it to. Right from the start, he listened and fully understood what I was going for and how important this piece was for me. Nick is a talented artist and I could not recommend him enough! Thank you so much!

I was absolutely delighted with the artwork Nick created for me. An initial idea for a special birthday gift quickly progressed into a beautiful, original illustration, capturing the very essence of Argentine Tango. Nick accommodated my every wish with ease and understanding. A truly talented artist! Thank you Nick from the bottom of my heart

I commissioned Nick to create a portrait as a wedding gift, and I couldn't be happier with the result. From the very beginning, he truly understood the sentiment I wanted to convey and grasped my idea perfectly. After speaking with several artists, it was clear that Nick was the right choice. His attention to detail and ability to translate emotion into the artwork is incredible. He completely knocked it out of the park, surpassing my expectations. The portrait is stunning, and I know it will be cherished for years to come. I can’t recommend Nick highly enough for anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful artist!

I am so unbelievably happy with Nick's work. I requested a sketch of my best friend and his recently passed-away dog. Nick completed the piece within a matter of days to an extremely high standard. He kept me updated with every stage of the art, made sure I was satisfied before he finished, and was very sensitive to the emotional nature of the piece. I recommend him highly to anyone who wants quality, efficiency and compassion.

2 fab portrait sketches done by Nick. One of cat and another large one of our 3 dogs together. Trusted Nick with carte blanche on how best to portray them. And I’m not disappointed. Nailed it. Just brilliant. Kept me updated throughout the process. Highly recommend.

It was an absolute pleasure having him doing this project for me! I wouldn’t have any hesitation on recommending him, or having him do another piece for me. Thanks very much Nick! ✌🏻&❤️

It was a pleasure to work with Nick. From the start he is very involved in the process to make sure our ideas of the artwork aligned. After the project was started, he shared multiple updates on the artwork and asked if there are any comments, which he changed and adopted immediately. The artwork that was delivered is a really nice piece, and would definitely go back to Nick again in case I have similar requests in the future.

Nick was absolutely phenomenal. His communication and skill were unmatched. We asked for a really personalised piece (a geeky wedding seating arrangement) and he thoroughly understood our brief and executed it to a standard higher than we could have expected. Throughout the whole process, he kept us updated and gave us amazing suggestions - we truly couldn't have asked more from him. Would recommend wholeheartedly.
