The portrait of my daughter Trinity is fantastic. Gus managed to take off the sun hat she was wearing in the photo and drew in her hair".

"I ordered a double portrait of my Niece and Nephew from two old school photographs. The result was really lovely and I must say the portrait certainly lives up to the name "A True Likeness".

Dear Mr Russell,
I felt I had to write to say how pleased my husband and I are with the portrait of our pet corgi 'Rusty'. It will be a permanent reminder of him. The picture you did hangs in our hall and all our friends say "you managed to capture his cheeky look superbly" Once again, thank you so much. We have recommended you to so many people.

Dear Gus,
Thanks a million for the portrait of 'Toby' (probably the scruffiest dog in Fleet!). The way you have drawn his wiry coat is really beautiful and thanks again for doing it in time for Christmas 04.

Gus,
Just a note from myself and the tribe to thank you for the drawing of our dog 'Ben'. My wife and children adore the picture. As I said he's not to well now but the artwork you have produced will be a permanent reminder of a true old friend. Also thank you for the framing advice and written instructions to the framing shop.
