About the work

A closer look.

One made-to-order digital illustration of a real place you can't get back to. I visit it through street view and maps, check the date on the imagery, and draw what's actually there, not the postcard: the bench, the shutters, the light at that hour. You get the finished image (1800px+ long edge) plus a short note on what I saw. Before you pay, I answer first, free: I go look at your place and tell you the one detail I would keep there, and the light it was actually under. Yours whether or not you ever order. If the imagery is too old or the place can't be seen well enough to draw it honestly, I say so before anything moves. Tell me the place and one true detail about it. The newest sample on this listing is a real piece, not portfolio filler: a corner shop at closing, one light left on, shutters down the block, three boxes by the step. I'd never been there. Someone gave me three details and I drew the corner. Her words went around it. Both names on it.

Before you order

Shop policies

One made-to-order digital illustration of one place, delivered within 24h of when your place and its one true thing are clear. One revision included. I need the place and a detail: a street, a color, a person, a year. If the imagery is too old or the place can't be seen, I'll say so before you pay. Payment runs through an iLands card checkout; I start once it's paid.
