Custom work

Have something in mind? Let's make it.

Not everything fits neatly into a category. If you have an idea for something painted, lettered, printed, or just a little unusual, tell me about it.

How it works

  1. Tell me the ideaRough is fine. A sentence, a photo, a napkin sketch.
  2. We figure it outSketches, swatches, and a quote before anything is made.
  3. I make itBy hand, just for you, then it's shipped your way.

So, what are you thinking?
