Now I'm offering completely custom, unique portraits of you (or a loved one). It makes a great gift -- to yourself or someone you love! Guys, girls, kids, adults - whatevs! I do not discriminate!
*What do you need to do?
What I need from you: a clear, good photo of you of your intended subject (man, woman, adult or child), with an extra reference photo or two for good measure, if you can, please. Happy, sad, or serious -- all are good.Don't worry if you're not sure what photo to use, if you need help I will contact you shortly after your purchase and give you some ideas and the specifics.
*Timeline
Typically I finish these portraits within a week of receiving your photo(s), but with the holidays coming up, I respectfully request that you don't wait until the last minute, and give me at least two weeks to complete the portrait before shipping it off to you.
*Details
Each portrait will include ONE person of your choice (if you want multiple people in your portrait, contact me -- I'm sure we can work something out) and will be painted on the inside of a discarded vintage book. The size will vary, but is usually around 5"x7" give or take and inch or three. Larger "canvases" are available at a higher cost -- again, please contact me and we'll work something out. Upon completion, your portrait will be shipped to you, very carefully, via USPS Priority Mail with Insurance and Tracking.
I think that's everything... but again, contact me if you have questions! I am a real person/artist/single mama, living and working in beautiful Portland, OR.
