Custom Portraits (Commission)

It would be my honor and privilege to capture your image and soul with an exclusive one-of-a-kind portrait of you, your family, or your loved ones. These hand-drawn portraits will not only depict your likeness in great detail but will also capture your emotional life story.

This is a modern take on a classical art form, infused with the traditional values of labor-intensive craftsmanship. The cross-hatching techniques I employ draw inspiration from the old engraving reproduction methods perfected by artists like Gustave Doré in the 1800s, and later adapted to pen and ink illustration by American artist Franklin Booth in the 1900s. This technique and style have fascinated me since childhood, and I’m thrilled to bring it to you in the digital age, enhanced by modern reproduction technology, yet still rooted in the simple magic of pen and ink.

These portraits offer a delicate and detailed rendering of you and your personal story—something to share, cherish, and perhaps, pass down as a lasting memory and a family heirloom for generations to come.

The cost of a portrait ranges from $1000 to $10,000, depending on size, the number of subjects, and overall complexity. All aspects are open to discussion and negotiation, of course. These are custom-made portraits, so if you’re interested, please see "How it Works" for more details or fill out this form
