Custom Pet Cat Portrait Painting
I use a technique in a digital program that utilizes a stylus and tablet with custom digital brushes that transforms your photograph into an amazing painted portrait. These are not just run through a filter or an app as seen on some other offerings and sites. Utilizing traditional painting techniques (you can actually see the brush strokes as in a traditional painting) along with digital expertise, I will create an art piece that you will be proud to hang in your home. The style can be traditional to wild and anything in between. Your input is sought along the way to ensure that you receive just what you want. Presented as a high quality archival pigment ink on a choice of metallic paper or 100% cotton rag paper (similar to watercolor paper), 8x10 piece that will last generation to come. Other sizes available. Pricing dependent on number of subjects, the complexity of the image, background,and size of final piece.

My formal training began with film in the darkroom. Now, I am working with digital imagery. I feel the same magic come alive when I open an image in Photoshop as I did working in the darkroom.
Much of my digital work is influenced by the psychedelic pop culture images of my childhood. Using richly saturated colors with an emphasis on luminosity I create a somewhat surreal image.
My photographic images begin in the RAW format. I often begin producing multiple layers with various filters and effects. I then add and subtract from the various components of the image. Some parts of the image might only have one layer, while others may have ten or more layers or effects to produce the look and feel that I wish to convey. Occasionally I find photographic image that stands alone in it’s beauty and uniqueness and I only wish to share it in it’s simplicity.

Ian Aker
For Ian's Wooden Sign5.0The final project went way beyond my expectations! She did a top notch job. She is great to work with. The proof and review process was really easy. She updated me on every step throughout the process. The package came on time...maybe even a little early. I was truly touched and surprised that she separately sent me something too as a thank you.

For Barbara's Sign5.0This has been one the best purchases I have ever made on line! Working with Mr. Phipps was a true please and his promptness goes beyond anything a person could ask for. I was on a short timeline to get my requests met, but Mr. Phipps jumped up to the challenge and met my time requests without hesitation and for that, I am so happy. His great work of art creation will be impressive and become a lovely wall art piece to which I will be very happy to display in our home. Thank you so much for your great creation and speed in meeting my requests! Sincerely, B~

Tripletmom
For Tripletmom's Painting4.7It was a pure pleasure to work with LKPhipps. The project was unique in nature and nothing she (or anyone I found) had done before.. thus the only reason for 4 stars around expertise. Great communicator and the end result was super cool. This will be something that hopefully hangs in my sons room for 15 years! Thank you!

Gretchen Nelson
For Gretchen's Sign5.0I loved working with LKPhipps. She did an amazing job!! I did have a slight hard time with communication on the Custom Made site as far as responding, I think it could be made easier to use by a long run. I kept responding but many of them towards the end were never received and Custom Made kept asking me to respond!! Somehow LK found me and we connected and I am so thrilled. I love her work and would not hesitate using her or Custom Made again which in fact I am planning on. I just hope the website is fixed as far as communication. Thank you all very much!

KMKimberly Miles
For Kimberly's Illustration5.0LK Phipps was very patient and helpful making my specific project. I had significant delays with my part of the project, and she did what she could with the partial information to help encouraging and showing what the finished product would look like. The product is amazing and I can't wait to get my tattoo done!

Susan Drevo
For Wall art Project5.0I have been so blown away by the process of working with LKPhipps's creative mind and watching a concept I envisioned only in its infancy come to life and develop into such a personal piece. LKPhipps was so timely in her response after I presented my idea - within our first communication she was already presenting me a sample! I love that she just took my idea and started running. LKPhipps was very professional and was such a warm and personable spirit to work with. She was also incredibly accommodating of my requests to add or change things to my piece. I LOVE the final product that from conception of my idea to actually receiving my piece took only a week due to LKPhipps's hard work and focus in completing my piece by the short deadline I needed. I STRONGLY recommend LKPhipps's services!!!!
