I will work with you to commission a stunning digital painting artwork of your chosen subject.

I have many happy customers who have commissioned a unique digital painting of their pride and joy. A few examples are shown below[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1510599949399-f07dfe57-060e-5″ include=”44432,44382,44073″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Design Process

Flexibility with Control

The commissioned art design process is completely flexible. You choose an existing style from a reference picture in my existing galleries or we can discuss a style that appeals to you.

Once a style is chosen I will start work on your digital painting. At various stages I will send you developmental views of how your commissioned artwork is progressing. This allows you to review the digital painting and guide the look of the final artwork.

Once the image is completed you can choose what type of product your picture can be mounted upon.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

How Much Will It Cost?

My hourly artist time rate is extremely competitive and can be discounted if you allow me to add the picture to my portfolio and use it for resale on my site. You always have the right to maintain exclusivity but I retain copyright of all developmental and final images.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Picture Product Options

Your commissioned artwork can be mounted on any of our wall art products including canvas, metal, wood and acrylic. Wood, metal and canvas prints are available up to 72″ x 48″.

Postage is £7.50 for canvas prints and £12.50 for all other products up to 60″ x 40″. A custom quote will be given for anything above 60″.

Read in detail about all our wall art products[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Payment Arrangements

All payments are handled via Paypal Invoices. I will send you a detailed invoice which you can pay with any card via Paypal. You do not need a Paypal account – Paypal is extremely easy to use and above all else its secure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I hope this introduction to the GDMK Images commissioned art service has been useful and shows you how easy it would be to commission your own picture.

New Military Art Gallery

Wall Art print featuring a Lancaster Bomber taking off into a moonlit sky

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The New Military Art Gallery Has Arrived

I have a new dedicated military art gallery page to bring all my military pictures and digital art portfolio together. In response to your interest and enthusiasm towards my military art at our shows, I have worked on increasing my military art work collection. I have now created a military art gallery to bring all military themed artwork together in one single gallery.

Art work is still visible in their respective categories such as aircraft, vehicles or digital art. This new gallery simply brings everything with a military theme into an additional picture gallery. Its just another way to help you quickly get to a relevant type of picture.

Please let me know your thoughts on this new military gallery.

Thanks for reading

Ted Has A Date With Sally B At Flying Legends

Ted gets to grips at the business end with Sally B at Flying Legends

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ted Has A Date With Sally B At Flying Legends

So we are back home recovering from a long three days at the Flying Legends airshow. All the orders we took have been processed and will be with their respective buyers early next week. Thanks again guys n gals, your trade and support is much appreciated!

Ted had a great time at the Flying Legends with his personal highlight being a date with B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B!! That bear gets around, last visit to Duxford he gets a flight in a C-47 Skytrain!

Many thanks to Andrew and Geraldine for arranging this![/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”teds-date-with-sally-b-at-flying-legends”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Great Flying Display

As usual, the flying display was pretty good, although the weather did prevent a couple of displays. My personal favourite aircraft were the Avenger and Sea Fury – both very impressive. The famous Duxford ‘Tail Chases’ were a little thin on the ground. I’m not sure if this was to do the changes imposed by the CAA in response to Shoreham or simply there being insufficient aircraft?

Unusually for the Flying Legends, a modern fighter made an appearance in the shape of the USAF  F-22 Raptor. The Raptor flew with a P-51 in the USAF Heritage flight display. I have seen many F-22 aircraft at Nellis but this was the first display I have seen and it was pretty impressive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Crowds A Little Thin

From our viewpoint, although sales were healthy, the crowds did seem thin on the ground. I suppose this was to be expected as the event clashed with RIAT at Fairford, the British Grand Prix and some funny game with yellow balls in South London.

Hopefully there will be a nice healthy crowd when we return in September!

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Image Theft

Here is an interesting discussion point. What are your thoughts on image theft by people taking photos of artwork? I am getting increasing numbers of people innocently walking into the stall and covertly taking pictures. This activity was rife at Flying Legends.

I don’t know why people would do that as much better quality images can be had from this site and even better quality pictures can be bought there and then! I stop most people and they seem annoyed I intervene and prevent them taking photos. I wouldn’t mind so much if they were up front and said ‘great picture I want to share it on social media’ and gave us a mention.

Is it theft? Would people expect to walk into an art museum or exhibition and snap away unchallenged?

I am always on the lookout for image infringement and people who use my pictures illegally. To a certain extent it is part and parcel of the online world, but surely it is something more sinister in the physical world?

What really annoys me is this increasing clandestine photography of my artwork.

What are your thoughts? Is it acceptable or is there a limit to what can be ‘had for free’?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Next Up – War and Peace Revival

So, after that mini-rant, it’s time to look forward to next weeks War and Peace Revival Show. 5 solid days of the best military vehicles, living history and battle re-enactments to be found. We are very much looking forward to this show, which will be our first time attending. If you are at the show then drop by our stall located at C21 and say hi![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”17845″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://warandpeacerevival.com/”][vc_column_text]Thanks for reading, please leave your thoughts on the image theft issues I discussed and see you at War and Peace!

NYMR 70s Diesel Gala 2016

Class 26 diesel loco 26038 standing at the head of a passenger train at Pickering station on the North Yorks Moors Railway

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

NYMR 70s Diesel Gala 2016

Here is a quick overview of our trip with the art stall to Pickering on the Friday and Saturday of the recent NYMR 70s Diesel Gala.
Our newly released Class 37 digital painting picture was warmly received and sold well.

40013 and 55007 Looking Great

It was great to see Class 40 D213 40013 Andania back in service after a thorough 20+ year restoration looking and sounding great. Hats off to the owners and everyone involved as the restoration looks top notch.

It seemed very strange to see Deltic 55007 Pinza again, even though we know it is 55022 Royal Scots Grey in disguise. I’m not overly sure about the concept of disguising loco identities but the commercial aspects for the owner is obvious. Nevertheless it was great to see an ex works condition Finsbury Park racehorse coloured Deltic, complete with white cab surrounds again.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”nymr-70s-diesel-gala-grid”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

 Home Fleet Sounding Great

Both small Sulzer Type 2 locos Class 25 D7628 (25278) and 26038 sounded great and 37264 looked good as an authentic Scottish large logo class 37.

From an operating point of view 26038 didn’t have the best of weekends, failing on both the Friday and Saturday. Saturdays failure caused quite significant delays. From a trading point of view we had a good couple of days despite the seemingly low number of attendees.

We are very much looking forward to going back to the NYMR railway for their Autumn Steam Gala running from 30th Sept to 2nd October.

We are at several other events this summer so drop by and see our unique pictures and digital paintings.

Thanks for reading

Gary

GDMK Images June 2016 Update

GDMK Images June 2016 Update

Just before we dash off for the NYMRs 70s diesel Gala and Cosford airshows this weekend, I wanted to give a quick update on whats happening in the GDMK Images world. Firstly you can find out about the wall art, digital painting and gifts updates or jump to the editorial pictures update

I think the cover picture sums up June so far in the UK!![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Wall Art Pictures and Digital Paintings

I have released several new pictures and digital paintings over the last couple of weeks. I have been working through the thousands of pictures taken on our tedontourusa trip. These are being added slowly to my Alamy Editorial collection with a smaller amount added to the wall art galleries.

Gift Products

I have been trying out different suppliers for my gift products. I am really happy with my chosen suppliers, new and old. These suppliers are, as you would expect, providing top quality products. You might find things slightly cheaper elsewhere, but I am confident you wont find this quality, of both pictures and products, at our prices.[/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”GDMK-Images-2016-Picture-and-Gift-Update”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”june-2016-editorial-upicture-update”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Editorial Pictures

Pictures from the recent America trip are being added to my Alamy collection. The collection is broken down into lightboxes based on subject matter i.e. aircraft, railways, urban, people etc.

Currently I have been adding scenes from New York and a visit to Fort Lauderdale airport.

All the latest editorial pictures can be found in my latest editorial pictures lightbox

Future Editorial Picture Updates

Over the summer I will be adding more editorial pictures from the USA trip which will include

  • city scenes of New York and San Francisco
  • Pacific Coast Highway including Monterey, Morro Bay and related travel scenes
  • Road trip pictures from Route 66, Barstow, Mojave National Reserve, Highway 166
  • Airplane pictures from Las Vegas and Fort Lauderdale
  • plus many others including Maho Beach, Puerto Rico and some nice abandoned Americana scenes

Keep checking back or subscribe to hear about new releases.

[/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”GDMK-Images-2016-Editorial-Picture-Update”][vc_column_text]

June, July and August

We have lots of shows coming up after this weekends NYMR 70s Diesel Gala and Cosford Airshow (which are perfect opportunities to get some awesome last minute Fathers Day presents!!).

We will be at the Lincolnshire County Show, Nene Valley Railway Mail Event, Derby Night Market, Flywheel Festival and Flying Legends in the coming weeks so there is plenty of chances to come and say hi – even if its only to see Ted!

Anyway, times ticking and we need to be on the road towards beautiful Yorkshire. If you are going to be at the North Yorks Moors Railway on Friday or Saturday or Cosford airshow on Sunday come and say hi – we love to meet our subscribers!

Thanks for reading and all the best

Dads Deserve Better For Fathers Day

Our Dads are pretty special people. Of that there is no arguing. We may be a little cranky at times, but hey, who can you rely on to embarrass you in front of your friends? Who is Mr Dependable when it comes to bad dancing at parties?

Show your Dad how special he is this Fathers Day with a gift that is truly unique. Buy him a gift with a picture that is just as special as him.

Something different for Dad on Fathers Day

At GDMK Images you will find pictures that are just ‘different’. Pictures that feature familiar subjects that Dads like – jeeps, planes and trains but with a slightly different approach. Paintings that have a unique style.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”dads-deserve-better-1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]And just to add another twist of specialness, all the pictures can be printed on phone cases, laptop covers, tablet cases, eReader cases, mugs, wallets, ladies purses and so much more.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”dads-deserve-better-2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

People Love Our Event Stall

Show after show people go away with gifts and pictures that really stand out from the competition. Maybe its the quality of our products, no cheap tacky imports will be found in our inventory. Maybe its the unique style of picture that is seeing show organisers visit our stall and invite us to their events all over the country.

Whatever it may be, GDMK Images is being recognised as a quality supplier of unique pictures and gifts.

Make sure your Dad knows how special he is by getting him a Fathers Day present from GDMK Images.

We make ordering and configuration as easy as possible as shown below –

  1. Choose your picture
  2. Choose your gift type
  3. Choose a size
  • submit your order and away you go …….

Most pictures have direct links to each product. If you want a gift that doesnt have a direct link, use the Product Request Form to send details of what you would like. I will be in touch to confirm your requirements.

If you want to buy your Fathers Day gift in person rather than online you can find GDMK Images at the following shows

  • 70s Gala on the North Yorks Moors Railway on the 17th and 18th of June
  • Cosford Airshow on Fathers Day 19th June.

Ted Goes Flying At Duxford

GDMK Images lucky mascot #Ted before his airshow display ride on C47 Dakota N147DC at the American Airshow 2016

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ted Goes Flying at Duxford American Airshow 2016

We are just back from a fantastic weekend at the American Airshow at the IWM Duxford.

The American Airshow 2016 was a good event. There was lots of great flying (well the bits I got to see were very impressive). It seems the crowd numbers were down – a result of the advance ticket policy? I know a lot of people without tickets were turned away from the gates.

From our perspective it was a successful weekend despite the low crowd numbers.

I launched a new digital painting of Spitfire MkIX MK356 which was very well received by visitors.

We had a blast chatting to those visiting our art stall. Many became customers and bought something – its great to see your own personal work leaving for a new home.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”gdmk-images-art-stall-american-airshow-duxford-2016″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ted Gets a C-47 Dakota Flight

The highlight of the event for us was Ted making a new friend called Loon. Loons guardians, Andrew and Geraldine, dropped by the stall when they saw a black and white picture for sale on our stall. It turns out it was a picture of their steed for the weekend – C47A Dakota N147DC. After a lovely chat, they invited Ted to fly in the Dakota during the display on Saturday! Well what could we say? Before we knew it Ted was off and away for his VIP trip. I am sooo jealous of that little bear!!!!

July 2016 Update – little did we know that Ted would go one better at flying legends by getting a date with B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B!![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”ted-goes-flying”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Interesting Discussion Generated

My Vulcan digital art picture is always a popular picture wherever I go. As this was our first airshow, it was particularly interesting to listen to the knowledgeable airshow photographers who stopped by. Much discussion was had on whether it was a photograph or art. Even more discussion focussed on its merits as art. Some questioned why someone would sell a badly blurred photo. Others were commending a stunning piece of aviation artwork. It was very entertaining overhearing the banter between friends when opinions differed!

I’m glad the picture does exactly what art should do – generate debate! I’ll side with those customers who bought the picture. Several versions were bought including framed, on canvas and on a wooden block, those people obviously know their art!

What are your thoughts on the picture? Leave your comments below![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”vulcan-bomber-and-new-spitfire-digital-painting-pictures”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Orders and Upcoming Shows

For those who placed orders, I can confirm that your orders have been processed and submitted for production. You should be hearing from the couriers over the next 10-12 days with delivery slots.

For those who missed my aviation art display, you can check out and order online from the full Aviation Gallery.

Our next airshows are

  • 19th June Cosford
  • 2nd & 3rd July Flywheel Festival
  • 9th & 10th July Flying Legends

We are at various shows every weekend. We will be at Bradgate Park this weekend with a general art stall. Following this we will be taking our railway art display to the North Yorks Moors Railway 70s and Diesel Gala on 17th & 18th June.

If you will be at any of those events, come along and say hi. We love to chat!

In the meantime follow #tedontour on our social media channels to see what Ted gets up to in between shows!

Thanks for reading and please feel free to leave comments below, we love to hear from you!

All the best for now
