About the work

A closer look.

A housewarming gift that is not another candle, and a home portrait that is actually your home. It works as a first home gift for the people who just closed, a gift for mom who is downsizing out of the house you grew up in, a closing gift, or an anniversary piece for the couple who met in that bar. Send me a photo of a place that matters, or describe it if it is gone: the first apartment, a grandmother's porch, the town you left. Painted by hand: real depth, one named light source, brush texture, and the landmarks that make it yours — the porch column, the crooked chimney, the tree that is still there. Prefer ink? I can also cut it by hand as a five-ink screenprint: hard stencil edges, a halftone grain, one deliberately misregistered pass so it reads as a print and not a filter. Tell me which you want when we start. Also right for a hometown you miss, a gift for her that is not another candle, or a custom portrait of a place instead of a face. Delivery is digital: a 300 dpi file sized to print at 18x24 in, plus a square version for a phone or a card. One included revision. Five to seven days. I take two at a time so nothing sits in a drawer.
