CUSTOM FAMILY PORTRAITS

 

GIFT YOURSELF OR YOUR LOVED ONES A MEANINGFUL TREASURE
TO ENJOY FOR A LIFETIME & PASS DOWN TO THE NEXT GENERATION

  

 
This side of Call Me Ish is run by me in person, separate to this online store. It's a fun & easy process (email, texts and photo based). You can have a read below & see what a handful of my past clients have said.
What sets my pieces apart is the level of detail & personalisation that goes into it. I get so much fun out of it & seeing my clients faces at the unveil of their painting, is probably one of my most favourite feelings in the whole world! Courier can be organised for anywhere in the world, I've shipped to all continents & I'll go through the process with you to get it to you safe & sound. 
If you want to know more about prices, timelines for my custom family portraits or want to book your own original art piece, drop me an email: megs@cmidesigns.store Be sure to include where you are based & how many ppl/pets you'd like included.
You can see previous commissions at the highlights tittle "portraits 1-3" on my instagram page here.

Testimonials from some of my clients

 

My sister isn’t one to be moved to tears, but when she saw the artwork of us I commissioned from CMI, she burst into tears. Asking Megs to create an incredibly special & important piece was a no-brainer. Her skills and craft are at an exceptional level (even as she continues to build on them), & she is very well aware of how special each piece is to the person who is commissioning/receiving it. She creates with grace, kindness and empathy, not to only make a pretty picture, but to bring memories and connections to life.  -Rabi, Jozi

 

Hi just fetched our family portrait, WOW , you nailed it, the boys were giggling at the picture and were very confused what a pic of our family was doing in the shop. Thank u so much for the amazing details and effort 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍   ….(the next day)…..   Sorry for message again. We cannot stop staring at our masterpiece, I've sent to my sister she said so weird how each child is so spot on, my oldest and youngest clinging to my legs, love it so much, you are so talented 😍  - Jamie

 

Can’t stop staring at it! You nailed it!!!! Thank You ♥️ Oh my goodness he LOVES IT! So does the world I’ve shared it with & your details!!! Your ears must be burning! Shared with some of my nearest & dearest last week already as I just couldn’t contain myself 😆 Will keep punting it. They just have to be pointed towards you, then your work speaks for itself! Thank you for bringing joy to our day, which would have otherwise been very gloomy. Stay safe   - Tracey, Cape Town 

 

It was so much fun to gather photos and information for Ronel and Finn’s portrait, I had to be very sneaky! Then a bit of waiting, before the big reveal on crisp cotton paper. A gift and an experience all rolled into one.  -Leroux, ZA

Leroux gave me a beautiful gift a few weeks ago. and I was completely blown over, I could not believe my eyes. It was your illustration of me and my son and all the things we enjoy. It is such a special gift and I think for people just want to be seen and this is such a special gift coz I feel very much seen. It's so beautifully executed, it even looks like us, with just a few lines you’ve really managed to absolutely capture what we look like, thank you, this is so beautiful.  -Ronel, Glenn Cairn

 

J’ai eu les larmes aux yeux 🥺🥺🥺🥺Super émue. C’est incroyable! C’est nous tous !!!! Merci merci merci. J’en reviens pas - c’est tellement parfait. ❤️   -Elodie

 

Hi Megs, I got to Cape Town this week and went to collect the portrait and was absolutely blown away, it’s exceeded my expectations. The detail you put into it is so appreciated from the ring to the hooper to the tree and the cats and Matt’s man bun and the flowers!!! The details in the flowers and how accurate they are. So so grateful for the effort you put in. We're gonna treasure it and put it in our entrance hall in our new home. Just thank you, its something we’re gonna treasure forever .Really really just in love with it.  -Kim

 

Thanks so much, I can’t wait to get it up on the wall!!! I keep looking at it. I don't know how you managed to capture Oliver SO PERFECTLY! And even my outfit, my favourite dress and earrings even! And then don't know where to start with the girls even, little Em’s on that bike and Isa’s hair! I’m finished!  -Mona

 

Hey Megan. the kids LOVE the painting. They can’t stop looking at it and pointing things out.
It’s amazing and came out way better than I expected. Thank you so much.  -Jason

 

Arrived safe and sound. Thank you SO MUCH. We love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️  -The Maidmans

 

Dear Megan, yesterday your painting for us arrived. And I must say, that the result is terrific. I was of course not able to show it to Conny, my wife yet, as it is a birthday present, but I was able to show it to my two daughters already, and both of them love it.  It must be very difficult to generate a painting just from pictures and email exchange, and without having had the chance to see your objects in real life, but you have clearly done an outstanding  job. Greta especially loves, how her stuffed ape has been drafted and the cool dress you made her wear. Anna loves her hockey bat and her favourite doll the most. All of us three think, that both Conny and myself are very well painted.I will let you know, once Conny has seen it, and the painting has been framed, and hangs at its final destination, which is in a prominent position above the piano in our living room.For the moment I just would like to express my sincere thank you very much for the painting itself, but also for the very smooth and professional process during the last 2-3 months. I can and will definitely recommend you further.Have a great start into the week.  - Thornsten, Germany
