COMMISSION
Your stories, illustrated
I turn your stories into one-of-a-kind artworks, packed with memories, personal jokes, and the moments you treasure most. Each commission begins with a relaxed conversation, where you share the memories, moments, and little details that matter most, and I begin shaping them into something meaningful.
How it works?
1. Choose your size and gather your stories
Think about the memories, moments, places, milestones, inside jokes, and little details you would like included in your artwork. You can also choose the size that best suits your vision and budget.
2. Share your story
We will chat face-to-face or online (or by email, if you prefer) so I can learn more about the person, story, and details behind the artwork. I will then confirm the requirements, scope, and fee.
3. I develop the concept and create your artwork
Using your stories as the starting point, I create a layered illustrated composition filled with meaningful details in my signature storytelling style. This is where your memories begin to take shape as a one-of-a-kind artwork.
4. Receive your one-of-a-kind artwork
Your finished artwork is carefully packed and sent to you, ready to gift or display. Along with the original artwork, you will also receive a certificate of authenticity (just in case I'm famous in the future), an artwork explanation sheet, and a few little goodies.

Ready to create your own story-filled artwork?
Each artwork is created with lots of care and thoughtful research. As a guide, a typical A3 artwork takes around 2-3 weeks to complete, depending on my current workload. If you need it by a specific date, please let me know... I will always do my best to work to your timing, but around 2 months' notice is highly recommended.
