“Major thanks to Alex for the privilege of owning a piece of art by him, as you can see he is immensely talented and captured everything about the photo perfectly. When I decided to commission this piece, I knew I couldn't just find a traditional pet portrait artist because the landscape is as important or even more so than the subject in this photo. This is my favorite photo of Rylai because it brings me back to our trip to Glacier National Park which is to date still my favorite road trip we've taken together. But also this process has helped to remind me that other people's opinions on your art doesn't matter because it's all about how it makes ME feel. The artwork is special only for me because it brings positive nostalgic feelings about the experience we shared together. It reminds me of my gratitude to have a dog as great as her, that I can bring her to these places trouble free and take these pictures. That I so appreciate the companionship she has provided me and love her deeply.

I sincerely want to thank Alex for the smooth experience in commissioning art from him. His communication was top notch and he provided great photo updates while it was in progress. He cares about your opinions and makes sure that you're completely satisfied with the end result. Also, he provided a thorough and detailed explanation right from the beginning on what to expect and how the process will go. I knew right away that I was working with someone very professional and respectable. I am so in awe of his talent and am beyond grateful I chose him for my first commissioned piece. Thank you so much Alex!”

“I can say with certainty that the drawing Alex did of my two cats looks exactly how they really are and their personalities truly come through in their gorgeous eyes and expressions. I'm totally blown away by how beautifully realistic the drawing came out! I gave Alex a photo of each cat and he put them together so naturally in one drawing. He was patient with my questions and got the cats to look just right with only tiny adjustments to the first drawing he showed me. He has amazing drawing talent but also communicates so well and listens. Working with Alex from across the world was super easy and I am so pleased with the whole process and final results! What a great gift he has! Incredible!”

“From my first message to Alex after seeing his artwork I cannot fault a thing. Every option was transparent and his professional advice on which photo was best for the painting made life so much easier. I must thank him for his patience and my indecisive nature! I have never seen artwork of such a fantastic quality. This piece of artwork was so important as it was a gift for my mum's 50th, and it did not disappoint at all. She absolutely loves it and I am in awe of Alex’s talent. I will certainly be a returning customer in the future for further paintings.
Thank you so much Alex! Absolutely outstanding.”

“We are absolutely thrilled with the portrait that Alex has produced of our dog Daffie. His work is next level. The final piece has astonishing detail, depth and radiates life. It so much better than any photo I could have ever taken and is something we will treasure for years to come. It was such a pleasure working with Alex. He is a consummate professional, from my first enquiry through to delivery his communication with me was second to none. He explained clearly all my options, gave advice and had such patience when I changed my mind. Finally I have to mention the effort that Alex put into packaging the final piece, it was a joy to open, and not to forget the unexpected but much appreciated extras that he also added to the package, including prints of the original.”

“This piece is absolutely jaw-dropping....I never in a million years envisioned it would quite come to life the way it does. I knew Alex' work was gorgeous and polished, but I don't think I realized just how heart-stoppingly realistic it would look – because I know her!

My first thought is that he'd literally created a photograph, but the closer I look, the more I realize that this goes so far beyond a photo: the weightless strands of fur, the reflection in the eye, the insane detail on her nose. They add up to not just her likeness, but almost her soul in a way.

My mom (the recipient) thought it was a photograph at first, it took her probably 4 or 5 seconds to realize it was actually a piece of art. She started crying immediately (happy tears)! It did give me chills; the whole experience was so wonderful.

I don't know how to explain this, but he has truly made my whole year. I'm so glad that we crossed paths. I'm just so pleasantly surprised with how kind and approachable he's been over the last few months. I truly appreciate him letting me be a part of this incredible process, and the final piece is just so far beyond whatever I could have expected or dreamed of.”

“Alex we cannot thank you enough for turning our most handsome boy into a piece of art that will be treasured for a lifetime. You have turned a one dimensional pleasing photo into a portrait that looks like you can just reach in and touch him. You can't get better than that! What a wonderful gift I was able to give my husband on his birthday, he was completely bowled over.
All communications were easy, friendly & professional, making the whole experience from start to finish nothing but a pleasure. If I need another portrait in the future I won't hesitate in returning to you, as I know with full confidence that you will deliver the whole package and produce more mind blowing art.
Thank you.”
