Custom Illustration

Besides portraits, I also accept commissions for other custom artwork, such as book illustrations, custom cards or stickers, logo or tattoo designs, etc. Below are some examples from past commissions that I've completed; if you'd like a quote or have other questions, please send me a message.

Pen and ink drawing of a halibut featuring the text "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World" in cursive along the outline of the fish — This halibut was made into a custom sticker for a gift shop in Alaska. The original is pen and ink and marker.

The platypuses are facing each other. — This 11 by 14” pen and ink and marker drawing was commissioned to hang in an office where the company members had the nickname “Plaidypus” for each other.

Watercolor painting of a blue colonial style family home with a lush green front garden. — This watercolor of a family home measures 9 by 12'. I worked from photos of the family’s house, then added the figures and extra flowers in the garden.

A colored pencil drawing featuring three ancient Egyptians floating along a scandinavian canal featuring traditional scandinavian rowhouses and tulips. — This 9 by 12” colored pencil drawing is part of an ongoing project where I illustrate funny quotes from middle school students.

Brayden's Portrait.jpg — The father had made a collage of photos to show how he wanted the portrait to show a sort of "live action" version of the cartoon.

An ink market drawing featuring a curly-haired brunette in a green blouse and a dog in a dress shirt and tie sharing a milkshake together at an old-school diner featuring a soda fountain — This 9 by 12" ink and art marker drawing was made as a gift for the woman in the drawing. The goal was to show the woman and her dog in an imaginative setting; I can't exactly remember how we decided on the soda fountain, but it was a lot of fun to draw. I put the soda fountain together by using several different reference photos and some making-things-up.
