Custom Commissions

A Place That Means Something to You, Drawn by Hand

I need 30 days to complete your custom artwork. Please send your request by Thursday, November 26 to have it in time for Christmas.

A few pieces I've drawn for people, from a photo or on location. Click to view each in detail.

William Penn Tavern. A gift from one sister to another. Their old stomping grounds.

Nana's Hot Dogs. Ode to a lost Northside staple and a symbol of determination.

Lawrenceville Lofts. A piece of home for a far away lover.

Colonial Revival. First home in Pittsburgh.

The home where they raised their children.

Where she lived as a young adult.

The Queen Victoria Inn. Where they always went for their anniversary.

Taco Bell. Sometimes all you have to keep going in this life.

The place where everything changed.

Priced by the piece. Each commission is quoted individually, based on details like size, complexity, and style. You get the quote after a short conversation, so there are no surprises.
From a photo, or on location. I can work from a photo you send, or sketch on location if the place is in the Pittsburgh area. On location I can find the best angle and leave out the parked cars and overgrown trees I can't see around in a photo, and being there helps me capture the feel of the place. It isn't always possible, and photos work well too (the Queen Victoria Inn was drawn entirely from one). A photo just needs to be your own, so there's no copyright risk.
What you get. The original hand-drawn piece plus a high-resolution digital file of the finished art. Framing is available if you want it.
The process. Tell me about the place using the button below. I'll get back to you within two business days, usually to set up a short phone call so we can talk through the details. From there I follow up with any questions, a timeline, and a quote. A deposit books your spot, and the rest is due on delivery.
Timing. Most pieces are finished within thirty days, often sooner. On-location drawings can take a little longer, since they wait on good weather.

Tell me about the place and I'll take it from there. The form goes straight to me, and I read every one.
