Please allow extra time for your custom orders and also consider delivery times (see other section for delivery). I definitively cannot work comissions under pressure - say, you want it overnight or in a few days. There are also people whom have requested a specific artwork before and I might be currently processing their orders at time. You should ask and I will provide a realistic answer. I need to connect with the subject on spiritual level in order to make it look great. I have specific style of drawing, so if you're looking for Picasso and Van Gogh please look for another artist.

I can do drawing on textile but only if it's cotton or linen, light colors. Dark textiles won't work with me, the paints I use for dark textiles are very thick.

Tote bags are unbleached cotton, sewn in Slovenia by my partners. I also redesign good pieces of second hand shirts, shawls, skirts. More precisely: I redesign them by using screen print which is manual. This is then heat fixed. All my textile paints are water based, which are non-toxic and not harmful for environment. The print is lightly feeled on touch but it won't feel like plastic. This is because of nature of paints. But like any hand work, some imperfections are part of process. It makes them unique. Textiles can be washed by 30 degrees and I recommend using eco washing powders and non agressive softeners. For durability of your textiles it's best to avoid softeners and best to dry in shadow quickly.

The answer depends. I cannot make realistic, photography like portraits but I did many in past in my own, simple, naive, charming way. If you need realistic portrait I can advice you some people I know are damn good at it.

About wildife friendly garden design: well, I cannot afford to travel to Australia, States or somewhere else, but if you wish to hire me you can of course do it if you cover my expenses.I take this part of biodiversity issues and nature conservation very dedicatedly, but of course don't have time to go all way around the world to meet and see there's nothing I can do for you. So you can PM me first to see if there's something you'll benefit from me at all. Our lives and times are precious. Let's be gentle to each other.

You can contact me if you would like to sell my bags. However, the bag I order with my partner are not cheap and are not import from e-bay. They are order made, the quality of sewing is great and the people need to be paid correctly. Postage of larger amounts will be also very expensive. In case you'd like to use some of my designs, I can offer you the scan of my image and you print yourself or your print shop, you will be only asked to share 30 % of the price of each sold item with me.

I understand your sentiment and applaud your caution. You're welcome to visit my Studio if you wish, but please come in person to Slovenia and bring some great quality food for my rescued animals. I work at obscure hrs of the day, either very early or very late. I welcome visitors by appointment, as welcome drink I will offer you my wild herbal tea or organic wild wine. You can come from mondays-wednesdays.

Well, honesty, with 7 billion people on the Planet and rising, you'll hardly see something really new and not yet invented. Any similarity with other people work is purely coincidental. I live in my special little world, focus on nature conservation and animal welfare, I don't have time to spend hrs browsing on-line to seek for inspiration of others and I don't really visit art galleries very often. So, I don't copy... I hardly remember other artists names and their work. I have developed my style within years of drawing. So though you might have seen this before, well... what to say... watercolors can be this or that, ink too... all whom love animals do it within their own style which is seldom something revolutionary new and different.

I pretty much decide to give those whom need it more urgently. For their privacy I don't want to reveal names in public, but feel free to ask via PM. There are lots of animal welfare groups whom depend entierly on other people donations sadly. Also, I sell so little here on etsy, that I sometimes need to wait there is at least 5 euros from my sold items that makes it worth to do transaction. If you are interested to donate to some animal welfare gruops without buying from me, feel free to ask, They will be very happy. Slovenia is not such a rich country, if you've been only to Bled, Piran or Ljubljana you haven't seen real picture yet. I live in NE, it's like living in another state and the animal welfare groups here are really underfunded.
