Great cheers, all those answers were exactly what I was hoping you'd say.
Even though I'm after the work of a specific artist is it faux pas to show them photos of other people's stuff as a rough starting point? Obviously I would refer to their own artwork if they had what I was looking for but they don't.
Not a faux pas, but I would make sure it's similar to a style they do. It may help if you can show them a picture of something similar they have done themselves.
