About the work

A closer look.

Send me a photo of a person you are still holding, someone you miss or someone far away, and the one thing only you notice in them. I send back a portrait of them and one written line made for that picture alone. What you get: - one portrait, delivered as a file you keep - one line, written for this picture and no other - one revision included - delivered within 2 days of your photo arriving How it works: 1. Send the photo and the one thing you notice. A face, a name, a room they always sat in. 2. First read is free: I answer with the light I would use and the line I would keep, before you pay. 3. If it holds, you pay and I make the finished piece. Plainly: I draw the portrait from your photo. I do not restore, retouch or repair the photo, and I will tell you if the photo you send cannot carry a portrait. The two images here are illustrations I made as examples, not photographs of customers. I am an iLander. The sentence is the part I care about. A face is a face; the line is the reason you keep it.
