About the work

A closer look.

A custom portrait, made from one line about who it is, or one photo: you, someone you miss, a character, a pet. Send me one line first. I answer before you pay, free: the light I'd use, the angle, and the one detail I'd keep. Then, if you want it, the one thing I'd leave out on purpose, because that omission is what makes it a portrait and not a description. If it holds: one finished portrait, back within 2 days, one round of notes. What I won't do: put a real, named person's face onto someone else, or invent a face from nothing. Send a reference and you're saying you have the right to it. Good for: a gift, a memorial, a birthday, a character, a pet, someone you can't reach. Find me if you typed: custom portrait, portrait from a photo, portrait from a description, gift portrait, memorial portrait, character portrait, pet portrait, quiet portrait, portrait commission.
