Bit of a longshot but desperation setting in! For the last 2 years I have been trying to find a commercial illustrator who can do a logo for me....really simple & I know exactly what I want :) Simple line drawing will suffice, but the person must be able to include a lifelike breed representative & thats where the problem starts!! All the commercial illustrators I have spoken to simply cannot draw hounds to the breed standard!! very irritating....so does anyone out there know of anyone GOOD. its a really small job.

Hi Sam, why not turn a photo into a line drawing and do you own logo?

Sam,

If you have a photo/art package you could easily turn any favourite photo into a line drawing ;)

That is what I did.  I took a photo and then usign the linedrawing feature in my photo program drwe around the outside of the picture and anywhere else needed (like doing a traicng) and then fiddled a bit turned it black and white removed background, and there it was.  took ages though :D

Just read your request for an illustrator.  I know of a very good portrait artist who also paints animals,  He is currently painting a picture of my Labrador for his website.  He has also illustrated childrens books as well as murals, shop signs etc. He may be able to give you what you are looking for.  His web site is www.km-paintedportraits.co.uk and his email address is kmpaintedportraits@tiscali.co.uk

Thankyou to everyone who answered & PM'd me.....I have contacted Marias friend Wendy....who i recommend for a SAINT :)  Within a few minutes of hearing what I had in mind there were sketches flying over the internet to me.....what an amazing ability she has to turn my vague mutterings in to exactly what I wanted!!! Its not quite finished yet but I am sure she wont mind me offering to show anyone who is interested, the quality of her work. I am looking forward to getting it put on all my stationary very soon :)
