Presents and commissions: Christmas guidelines

Christmas is a busy time for Rufus and friends… in order to make everything work smoothly, a quick reminder on timing for purchases and commissions in december

The postal service is quite overwhelmed during the holidays, here in Italy and I’m guessing all around the world. If you wish to purchase illustrations to give out as Christmas gifts, it will be better to order them up to mid-december… overseas shipping usually takes a week-ten days and we don’t want any monster to land in an untimely fashion under your Xmas trees.

As for commissions, which require more work and communication between you guys an me, the sooner the better. Having commission orders in by the end of november will be perfect (both for tattoos and illustrations). As usual, standard A4 formats require less time to complete, if you’re looking for something bigger, take into account a longer process.

That’s all folks. For any kind of info on artwork or to order, drop me a line, I’ll let you know if there’s a waiting list and how long it’s all gonna take.

hugs!

Commission: Sorrow tattoo… and a bat dog :)

Megan’s tattoo commission is finally completed… including the cartoon version of her lovely dog, Kilo! Pics of the finished design, some detail shots and the real-life version of Kilo (thanks Megan for sharing ).

The usual reminder… if you have something of mine tattooed, send me a pic! If you wish to get a customized design, drop me a line and we’ll talk commission works

Texas loves Rufus!

Alexandra from Austin is one of my most supportive collectors… and her family and friends perfectly know that. A couple of days ago, she received a whole new set of Rufus drawings as birthday presents Some of them were among her favorites, while others were commissions… I’m really happy because the gifts were very welcome and Alex was super kind (as usual) and she immediately sent me pics of the framed artwork.  I’m so happy she will take care of all those monsters from now on ^_^ I really love the way she chose to frame the Love Shouters series… it’s the first time I see my creatures in cube form and it’s awesome!!!
Alex, enjoy… and thanks for sharing

Chillout heart tattoo :)

The lovely Chelsea from the US (right?), tweeted me a picture of her brand new tattoo, featuring a portion of my Chillout illustration. Here’s the source of inspiration and Chelsea’s pic. Thanks for sharing, it looks great!

Commission: animal ghosts tattoo, pencils TWO :)

A new pencil sketch for Tessa’s tattoo design… the first one was mainly horizontal, while she was hoping for something less wide and more tall and so, new pencils and slightly different ghost shapes. Enjoy
