Not yet....but soon will have.
You should be on commission.

Are they good??
What one have you got, and is it coloured.
The Chim, it's even got my number plate.
In reality they look like a pen and ink/charcoal drawing. They have a limited stock of frame types as well. Mine's in a polished ally frame.
Wouldn't mind the whole set really.
If anyone's interested, I've been tempting the girlfriend into doing drawings/paintings of individual's cars... either pencil drawings, or watercolours - (colour or B&W).
She's not a bad artist at all, and she's done a couple of quick sketches of my Tuscan for me so as to prove a point.
We were thinking of charging somewhere around the £80 mark or so for each original one (not prints), and basing them upon any pictures you supply to make it more individual (i.e. getting the colours, plate, any modifications right, etc). Obviously, we could do "stock" pictures coloured to match if you haven't any good photos you'd like "converting"...
It's just an idea we're toying with at the moment, but any thoughts?

I do my own - but only on my mobile phone (how sad?) Is a great time filler though - take some photos and then work over the top of them. All a bit Rolf Harris though

You could of course scan a suitable pic in or take a good quality digital and wang it through a couple of photoshop filters.
It should be easy enough to get something similiar.
You could photocopy the Mona Lisa, but you probably wouldn't hang even a 3000 DPI laser copy up on your wall.
This is what the current Ms. J_S_G sketched whilst watching the GP on Sunday as a quick first attempt at seeing how hard it'd be (she'd never tried drawing a car before!) If she was to sell any pics, I think it's fair to say they'd look a lot better by the time she's learnt how to draw/paint round wheels.
My Children bought me one of these for Fathers Day, with my Plate on and everything, a nice Pressie. Father Christmas bought me [url]www.originaldesignerprints.com/[/url] A lot more expensive, but much higher quality, the only problems I had was finding a suitable frame & mount. Guess which 1 I bought!

That is excellent. I am sure there would be a good demand. I have a T350, and would certainly be interested if you do go down that route.
