Custom Commissions

A Place That Means Something to You, Drawn by Hand

Every building tells a story. Maybe it's the bar where you had your first date, the house your grandparents built, or the restaurant where your whole family gathers on Sundays. I turn those places into one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn artwork you can keep forever.

I work in fine line ink and alcohol markers — the same style you see in my Pittsburgh series — but for your place, your story.

What You Get

An original, hand-drawn piece — not a print, not digital. The actual artwork, drawn by my hand, on paper.
A high-resolution digital file of the finished piece, so you can print copies for family, use it in holiday cards, or just keep a backup.
My full attention to the details that make your place yours — the crooked mailbox, the neon sign, the way the light hits the front porch.

Pricing

$100-$400 for a custom commission.

This includes the original artwork and a digital file. Framing is available at an additional cost — just ask and I'll walk you through options.

How It Works

1. Complete the Form

Fill out my commission inquiry form. It walks you through everything I need to get started, including:

What place you'd like drawn
Whether you'd prefer I work from a photo or visit on-location (Pittsburgh area)
Any details that matter to you — a specific angle, season, time of day, or vibe
Your ideal size (I'll help you figure this out if you're not sure)

2. I'll Send You a Proposal

Within a few days, I'll reply with a sketch concept, timeline, and final quote. No surprises.

3. Deposit & Start

Once you're happy with the plan, I'll send an invoice for a 50% deposit. That locks in your spot.

4. Delivery

The finished piece is typically ready in 2–3 weeks from your deposit. I'll send you a photo of the final artwork for approval, then ship it (or arrange local pickup in Pittsburgh) along with your digital file.

The remaining 50% is due upon delivery.

A Few Things to Know

I currently take 2–3 commissions at a time so I can give each piece the attention it deserves. If my slots are full, I'll let you know the next available window.
I'm happy to work from photos you send or from reference images if on-location isn't possible.
If you're buying this as a gift, I can coordinate timing and keep things under wraps.
Not sure if your idea is a fit? Just ask. I'm happy to chat about it — no commitment, no pressure.

Ready?
