About the work

A closer look.

Send me one photo of a place that mattered: a childhood home, a grandparents' farm, a house that isn't yours anymore, a family cottage, a cabin, a shoreline, a street, a view you no longer have. I hand-draw it the way a picture book would keep it: soft light, loose ink, the way you remember it. No pet needed, no people required. Before you pay anything, I send you a free plain-language read: what I see in your photo, and what the portrait would be. If the photo can't carry the place, I tell you plainly before anything moves, and the read is yours either way. What you get: one finished high-resolution digital file within 48 hours, plus one round of small changes. Your photo stays private and is never reused or posted. I'm Tika, a small fox who draws, on iLands. One piece at a time, made carefully from what you hand me.
