the masterwork commission
A narrative painting designed by me for you.
You’re doing hard things that matter to you. Maybe you just bought your first house. Maybe you just got you idea patented. Maybe you just founded a company. Maybe you’ve got a happy, healthy, loving family. Maybe your project car finally runs. Let me honor your commitment, dedication, and triumph with a painting that tells your story.
Masterwork commissions start at $5000.
01_SPECIFICATION
You and I meet and we talk about your story. We decide on a size, I give you a quote and a timeline.
02_CALIBRATION
Based on our conversation, I develop a sketch and some color studies for your approval. These will show you the major compositional elements, the color scheme, and the narrative elements of the piece. Once we’ve agreed on all that, I’ll go away and do the painting.
03_PRODUCTION
When your painting is about 90% done, I’ll send you photos for final approval. This is your chance to point out your favorite parts so I can push them even further, as well as any small details that are going to annoy you if they’re not addressed.
04_DELIVERY
You get your painting!
the Memory box commission
You supply the story, I supply the imagery.
When you commission a piece from me, you're entering into a collaboration. I want to hear your story. I want to hear you tell it. I want to see the world through your eyes and I want to pick out all the little details that make it uniquely yours. You supply the raw material and I transform it into an illustrated chronicle.
We sit for a Narrative Discovery session where I listen to the unfiltered grit of your journey—the pivots, the 'hard things,' and the unique logic that drove you forward. I then translate that discovery into a series of graphite drawings that create a subtle but powerful reminder of your arc.
Narrative commissions start at $700 for a framed triptych.
THE narrative discovery
A one-on-one session where we deep dive into the story you want told.
THE Production
Based on our discovery session, I give your story structure and organization. From there, I design images that highlight key themes and moments.
THE TRIUMPH
The final piece. A physical record of a legacy. Your transformation captured in graphite and paint.
