Bespoke Commissions

A piece made for one specific thing — a place, a person, a day.

Not every illustration happens live. Sometimes the thing worth capturing needs a bit more time — a venue that deserves its own portrait, a map of somewhere that matters, a moment from a wedding that you want to exist as an actual piece of art.

What I make

• Venue illustrations: The building, the garden, the room where it happened. Couples commission these as a keepsake, or as a gift for a venue they loved. They work beautifully as a print.

• Keepsake portraits: A more considered version of what I do live. These work two ways.

  • As table placecards — a small illustrated portrait at each guest's seat, made in advance from a photo. Personal, specific, something people actually keep.

  • Or as post-event portraits — for couples who want to make sure everyone gets one, I offer a post-event commission to finish the remaining guests from photos after the day. Same illustrations, just made in my own time rather than at the easel. No guest left behind.

• Illustrated maps: A place that means something. A neighbourhood, a route, somewhere you keep returning to. These take longer and I enjoy them a lot.

• Commemorative artwork: A wedding, an anniversary, a moment worth marking. If you have something specific in mind that doesn't fit neatly into a category, tell me what it is — that's usually where the most interesting briefs come from.
