Yes absolutely. Every commission is different and the Art Lab Concept is intended as a clear example but just a starting possibility. Additional options could include more conceptual imagery, portrait illustrations, smaller spot or figure-like illustrations, journal cover proposals, larger pieces for lab decor and so on. You might find inspiration in my broader portfolio.

Use by the commissioning scientist or lab is included in the standard license. Wider institutional use by a university, department, institute, press office, publisher, funder or company will require an additional license, depending on the context.

I draw and paint the final pieces digitally, preparatory sketches are either hand drawn or sketched digitally.

No. Copyright remains with the artist unless separately assigned in writing for an additional fee. The commission includes ownership of any physical print and a license to use the digital artwork for the agreed purposes outlined in the Commissioner Agreement.

Yes, selectively. My main focus is conceptual art and illustration roughly in line with my portfolio. I can potentially create graphical abstracts or similar visuals on a case by case basis.

I’m based in the UK.

This solution is for people who want bespoke, detailed illustrations authored by me through the lens of my unique experience and taste. Whilst current AI is amazing, in the visual field it has many failings that are particularly relevant to this type of imagery. Complex, multifaceted artworks where specific elements need to cohere in finely tuned ways to a specific brief.

It may be especially useful if you are:

Launching a new lab
Updating a lab website
Recruiting students, postdocs or collaborators
Presenting complex research to a broader audience
Marking a major publication, prize or grant
Looking for a distinctive image for talks, profiles or outreach
Wanting a physical artwork to display in your lab that represents your research in a unique way

A single Lab Concept Artwork project will take around 3-6 weeks, depending on factors like speed of feedback and image complexity.

Yes, up to two rounds of feedback are included at the Ideas stage and up to two further rounds at the Delivery stage. Once the illustration is at Delivery stage the amendments must be cosmetic and not structural, at the Ideas stage changes can be larger scale. Additional rounds of feedback are possible but will be invoiced additionally depending on their complexity.
