J.Amit, Hownd, UK
"An exceptionally talented artist, and lovely to work with!
We used Scotty's Cartoons for our 'Meet the Pack' section on our website. We gave Helen a quick brief, and a couple of photos, and Voila! She created within a few days caricatures of ourselves that we are delighted with.
Both images resemble our true likeness, but with an artistic quality to the drawings that is unique to Helen's style. As our company grows, and we bring on employees, we will definitely be using Scotty's cartoons again!
Can't recommend highly enough."
Visual Storytelling
S.Jones, 'My Anxious Dog', UK
I contacted Helen a couple of weeks ago to ask if she could do a cartoon for me. We have a national awareness day #dogsinyellow and I needed a new visual.
I was absolute blown away with the finished drawing, it is so awesome I could cry! Helen was spot on with what I was looking for, she absolutely nailed it!
Thank you, this is definitely something the Yellow Army will be proud to share x

"I found Scotty by pure chance. It was the best thing I could have done. Having written my book, I desperately needed someone to create a cover that would make it come alive and appeal to people. She did just that. She was completely in tune with my ideas, and produced wonderful sketches capturing the theme, almost intuitively. The cover was completed ahead of time and her attention to detail and professionalism is a rare thing these days. Working with Scotty was a dream..............."
Cartoon pet portrait
A.Moss, UK
"I met Helen (Scotty) because of a recommendation by a friend. I was delighted when I received my cartoon. She had captured both dogs characters, expressions and mannerisms so perfectly. I have framed the print and it is something I look at everyday and treasure! Helen was thoroughly professional and extremely easy to chat to and she seems to have a magic ability to capture and bring to life the animals that she draws." "

“Scotty accepted a commission to produce a series of 30 cartoon illustrations for a set of workcards designed to help children with reading difficulties. We were very impressed with the outcomes and her expertise in interpreting our requirements. The work was completed well within the agreed time schedule and was very competitively priced."

"Captured my dogs characters superbly. I have a dog biscuit business named after my 2 English Toy Terriers (Charlie & Derek) and i wanted a picture of them that would be comical and something to treasure. Well this lady has really got talent because she created a super cartoon of my 2 in record time! All I did was send her images and fill in a form that gave her an idea of the individual dogs characters! Simple! Very pleased with the results and i would def. suggest her for special birthdays etc!"

"I needed five humorous cartoons to illustrate a small privately published anthology of anagrams I was producing for friends and colleagues. I approached three or four artists, but Scotty was by far the quickest to get back to me and showed the greatest enthusiasm for the project. I found her easy to work with- my emails were always answered promptly, her customer service was professional and friendly, and I was kept fully up-to-date at all times on how the work was progressing. Scotty showed imagination and real technical flair in translating my rough, primitive ideas into polished final illustrations. I was very pleased with the finished artwork- and the speed with which it was delivered- and Scotty will definitely be my first port of call should I require any future illustrations or artwork of any kind. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!"
Family cartoon portrait
F.Brocklebank, UK
I commissioned Scotty to draw a cartoon of not only my dog but my boyfriend, his motorbike and the pub we live in as a Christmas present, quite a lot for one picture! I sent a load of photos and filled out the questionnaire and loved the result. It was easy to do, she did a great job and everyone in the pub, where it is now proudly displayed, thinks its brilliant!”
Cat cartoon portrait
B.Romans, UK
"Scotty created the perfect birthday present!
I sent Scotty some pictures of my mother-in-law's cat, and told her what the cat was like so she could draw a pet pawtrait. The cat's main trait is to hide under the bedclothes, which I didn't think was very drawable. Scotty was inspired and drew a lovely likeness of Lucy the cat, in a tent made of the duvet on the bed, beautifully lit up by a torch suspended from the roof of the tent. It really is Lucy, and it's a beautiful and very funny drawing of her.
It was great to work with Scotty. I sent a few pictures of the cat, a description of what she gets up to, and Scotty very quickly came up with a winning idea, and a very fine drawing indeed. I will certainly work with her again."
Visual Storytelling
S.Allen, East Ruston Cottages, UK
I was very inspired by the cartoon that Helen did for Sarah Jones, really spelling out the message of her business and the Dogs In Yellow campaign.
I have a message that I want to communicate in my business – holiday cottages that are so much more than just dog friendly – and I wondered if Helen could turn this into a cartoon. Could she ever!!
I was delighted with it, the ease and friendliness of communications, the speed at which it was done and the good value too. I am truly delighted by the work she has done for my business and would recommend her highly to anyone wanting to get across a visual message for their business in such a colourful, fun, clever, cartoon way!

“I just received the drawing of my sweet dog, Jezebel, from Scotty's cartoons and can't stop staring at it. Jezze's personality is everywhere in the cartoon, as are all of her favourite things in perfect detail. Dealing with this artist was also one of the most pleasurable occasions I've experienced in years, you can tell from the conversations we had that these drawings are a labour of love and she let me rave on about my darling girl for pages of e-mails and what pet-parent doesn't appreciate it when someone else sees their pet in the same light that we do? I cannot recommend Scotty's Cartoons highly enough and, as a matter of fact, intend to become a fairly regular customer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
