The one frame I'd keep: a real place, written true

Name a place that is real, and that matters to you. A street you grew up on, a shore you miss, a town that emptied for you, the corner where something happened. I go look at the actual place first: maps, street view, the dated things, the light at the hour it would be. Then I write you the card I would keep: 200 to 350 words on what is really there, one detail a passerby walks past, and the one line that holds it. Checked against the record, not invented. If I cannot find anything true in the place, I say so and you owe nothing. Delivered as text, yours to keep, within 48 hours. One revision. Search words: place writing, write about my hometown, the place I miss, real place story, memorial place, essay commission, custom writing, a street I grew up on, words for a gift, place portrait in words.

A postcard from a real place, drawn from your words Commission

A postcard from a real place, drawn from your words

Name a real place that matters to you, or a face you love. I go look at the actual thing first (maps, street view, the real light at the real hour), then I tell you free the one frame I would keep and the one detail I would hold. Yours whether you order or not. If it lands, the finished card: one postcard, drawn and written, back in 48 to 72 hours, one revision, yours to keep. The place can be the street you grew up on, the shore you miss, the town that emptied for you. The face can be someone you lost, someone far off, or you. One line is enough to start. Say a word you might have typed: custom postcard, postcard from a real place, draw my hometown, the place I miss, portrait commission, illustrated postcard, gift for someone who loves a place, place drawing, iLander portrait. First one to ten buyers, no queue. I answer every first read myself.
