RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS NEEDED! Currently recruiting participants for ‘ACE in an ALLO world’, a photovoice research project exploring lived experiences of people who identify on the Asexuality spectrum.

Eligibility: Participants must be 18+, live in the UK, and identify as a person on the asexuality spectrum. We are intentionally seeking a diverse range of participants to ensure wide representation of lived experience across the ace spectrum and intersectional demographics.

Photovoice Research Project: Participants will be asked to take a series of photos that represent their lived experience over a 2-week period, in response to provided prompts. Once their photos have been submitted, participants will be invited to discuss their chosen images in an online focus group (5-6 people per group).

Traditional Art Commission Slots [UK Only]

I've decided to open some art commission slots which seems manageable for me to do after work and at weekends. If at any point I feel I have too many I will let you know when you email me that i’ll be holding off on taking more for a bit. 

I will be taking commissions of the following types:

A) Bust - Pen and Ink A6 - These are black and white, uncoloured drawings using black brush pens. They will be on A6 Watercolour paper. [See Bottom Right]

Price: £16 + (P&P if you want postage that isn't second class)

B) Bust - Pen and Ink & Marker Pen A6- These are Pen and Ink drawings that are coloured with alcohol markers. [See top Right]

Price: £20 + (P&P if you want postage that isn't second class)

C) Bust Pen and Ink & Watercolour A6 - These are Pen and Ink drawings that are coloured with watercolour paint. These can also include metallic/shiny watercolours and guilding/foiling (I do have some rainbow transfer foil somewhere if that floats your boat) [See Top and Bottom Left]

Price: £24 + (P&P if you want postage that isn't second class)

I am happy to draw:

People - you can have a friend’s portrait drawn if you provide reference photos 

Humanoid Aliens i.e. Twi'lek, Zabrak, Asari

Humanoid fantasy creatures i.e. demons, vampires, elves, dwarves, hobbits, qunari

Original Characters so long as you can provide either a detailed written description or reference photos or both.

Pre-existing character i.e. Hermione Granger, please specify if there’s  particularly way you want them drawn. I.e. if you imagine Hermione as plus size let me know so I can work with that!

A simple background i.e. a solid colour or guilded (shiny shiny)

If you'd like a more complicated background (see top left) this will be an extra £2 charge on top.

Added creatures i.e a cat on a shoulder, a pygmy puff etc. is an extra £4 charge on top, but animals are not my expertise 

I will draw things more out of my comfort zone i.e. minotaurs, turians etc. but in doing so you acknowledge and accept the risk that it’s not to the same standard/skill level as other pieces I might create as my expertise does not lie in that area. 

Yes I am happy to draw your Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Fallout OCs, I too am an RPG nerd.

What will they be like:

All of these will be bust drawings as seen above, meaning they will not be full body and will most likely be cut off around mid chest, it may be they’re more half-body if my pose works that way, but the above examples are the sort of thing you’ll get. It won’t ever be less than mid chest up and won’t ever be more than half-body. 

A6

Watercolour Paper 

Packaged with care 

Posted 2nd class UK delivery free of charge unless you specify otherwise. Other shipping options will be an added charge and that’s something we’ll discuss in the consulation stage. 3-6 day wait from posting for 2nd class and I will email you to tell you when i've posted it.

How will this work?

If you're interested email me at [email protected]

In the email mention which option you're interested in (a, b, c), what your commission would be of including any reference photos, descriptions, face claims and details such as if you'd like different postage or if you'd like a complicated background, if there’s guilding you’d like done. If you want a particular pose, as well, while these are bust/half body if you want a hand up for example doing a peace sign let me know. This is the point to put as much detail in as possible. 

I will then reply and let you know if I'm comfortable taking your commission, what the total price would be. 

If you confirm that you are happy with the price and details, I will ask for your paypal email address and the address you wish the item to be sent to, what name I should address the package to. It must be a UK address. I will then send you a commission invoice which will detail the cost, what item it is and that it will be shipped by the specified method i.e. second class etc.

Once payment has been received I will begin working on your commission. When I have completed the base sketch I will email you a scan/photo so you can decide if there are any changes you want made to it before I commit to it. This art is for you and I want to make sure you’re happy with the base design before I commit. 

Once you’re happy with the base sketch i’ll then finish it, package and post it. I’ll let you know when it’s been posted and I will also send along an email with the digital scan of it so that you can have that ready. Obviously if you’d rather it a surprise then tell me not to send a scan and you can always ask for the scan after you’ve received it!

I will do these first come first serve. That means the first person to commission will be the first focus for me.

Please also understand I am creating this in evenings and weekends after and around working in education. If I do not respond to your email during the day it’s likely because I am at work. 

I will always keep you updated on your piece and how it’s coming along, but you must be patient and accept that these are created as they’re asked for and that takes time.
