The Process

I use pen and ink on vellum paper to create unique drawings ranging from 8 x 10 inches up to 27 x 40 inches. All custom drawings come with free shipping.

1. Submit an inquiry

using the form on this page and I’ll reach out within a few days to schedule a time for us to talk.

2. We’ll Chat

about the location(s) you want created into a beautiful drawing. You can share some memories or fun details that I may be able to incorporate into the drawing. Each pen and ink drawing I create is custom. I’ll work with you to determine the best size for you and your space. We’ll discuss pricing, payment and delivery options as well as production timeline.

3. Officially hire me

by submitting a non-refundable deposit ($100 or 30% of total price). Once I receive this I’ll email you a watermarked preliminary sketch of your drawing (Note: This can take more than a week)

4. Make Edits

After viewing the preliminary sketch you’ll have a week to let me know if there’s anything you want to add or edit. Once I begin work on the final drawing I won’t be able to make changes.

5. Wait

for updates on your drawing to reach your inbox. I know this can be no fun, but I promise to keep you as informed with images as you request. I’ll also send payment reminders (if applicable).

6. Complete

Custom drawings will be delivered once I receive your final payment. Shipping is available for all drawings. If you live in NYC I’m happy to hand deliver your artwork, I love meeting my clients and toasting a freshly completed project. Drawings 9 x 14 inches and under will be shipped flat. All drawings larger than 9 x 14 inches will be rolled and shipped in a tube.
