What Our Customers Say!

Nicole

Finally, I have acquired one of my father’s artworks, Yah! I had requested a fairy painting when I was a child but it never materialised. As an adult, I expressed my disappointment about not getting my fairy. So as a consolation, I received this magnificent drawing, so much better. This is a masterpiece, I absolutely love it!

Mumma

I asked Stuart to draw a younger version of me. I only had a tiny black and white photo and the details were hard to see, but it was all I had. When I unpacked the drawing I was so happy. The drawing was so beautiful and I love the delicate shading. Thank you so much.

I worked with Puff for many years in the sign industry. He is a loyal, honest guy and when I saw the portrait of our baby boy for the first time, it brought a tear to my eye. Such a wonderful moment in time. Thanx Puff, you’re a legend!
