What’s your idea?

Reach out to me via email. You provide details of what you want using imagery (Pinterest, Instagram, personal photos or Google street view). These custom cards are more scenic focused, not personal portrait illustrations. See my examples to understand my style. 

Images should be:

• Photos of the people involved. This means full body shots, not selfies. Besides facial hair or a pair of sunglasses, I don’t include face feature details, nor am I a portrait artist, so be sure to include photos that would work well with this in mind.

• The scene (This the most important): A home, a special hiking spot, a wedding destination, the more detail the better !

• Any other specifics (red cap, favourite soccer jersey)

• For cards: what you want written inside the card, on the envelope, and on the tag

*Note:

Of course I will always make sure that you are satisfied with your piece, but please remember that each piece is hand drawn, not computer edited, so be mindful of large changes .
