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]
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]
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]
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]
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.

Here it is at last, the eagerly anticipated new Class 40 in the Snow digital art print!
The scene is set in the winter of 1981 and features a Class 40 hauled passenger train speeding through a railway station. The Class 40 is in BR Blue colour scheme with a rake of mark 1 coaches in the British Rail blue and grey colour scheme.
The Class 40 depicted features the marker light and disc front end arrangement typical of the first batch of locos from D200 to D324.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
This picture will be unveiled to the public at the East Lancs Railway Diesel Gala today (18th February 2017). Mailing list subscribers have already seen this print and been able to buy at discounted prices for a week, which is usual practice for most new pictures I release.
If you want a heads up on all new pictures and the chance to buy early at discounted prices, then sign up to my mailing list![/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”new-class-40-digital-art-picture”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
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]
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 –
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
Get your special Fathers Day gift now!
Cheers for now

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]
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]
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!

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!
