Commissions

"Let's Create Something Unforgettable"

Or at least something that haunts your hallway in a good way

So you've looked around.

You’ve seen the shadows. And now you’re thinking… what if that darkness was mine? 
Good. That means you’re ready.
Developing With a Passion While Exploring The World.
I take on a limited number of commissions each year, not because I’m elusive (though I am), but because every piece demands everything I have. Emotion. Energy. Sleepless nights and far too much coffee. I don’t churn out portraits. I birth them. Messily. Dramatically. Usually with charcoal under my fingernails and a slightly haunted expression.
 
What I Can Do For You
 
Perhaps you want a portrait that captures someone exactly as you see them—not the polished version for social media, but the real them, the 3am them, the version with depth and darkness and stories they don’t tell strangers. Perhaps you have a landscape in mind that doesn’t exist yet, a place that feels like memory or warning or both. Perhaps you want something that makes visitors to your home stop mid-sentence and stare. I can do that. I want to do that.
I work from feeling, from description, from fragments. You don’t need to arrive with a perfect brief. You need to arrive with intent. Tell me what this piece needs to do. Who it needs to honour. What it needs to say. I’ll translate that into monochrome and make it permanent.
 
What Happens Next
 
Send me a message. Tell me your idea, your deadline, your budget, your dreams. I’ll tell you honestly if it’s something I can bring to life. If we agree to move forward, I’ll ask for a 50% deposit to secure your place in my queue—because materials cost money and my time is finite, but mostly because commitment matters. To both of us.
I’ll send progress shots. You’ll see it evolve from chaos to character. You’ll have moments where you wonder if I’ve lost the plot entirely, followed by moments where you realise I knew exactly what I was doing all along. That’s the process. That’s the pact.
 
 
A Few Ground Rules
 
I don’t work in colour. I don’t copy other artists. I don’t create anything hateful, exploitative, or that simply gives me a bad feeling in my gut. My art is dark, yes, but it comes from an honest place. It needs to stay there.
Timelines vary. A small piece might take two weeks. Something ambitious might take two months. Rush jobs are possible, but they cost more—partly because I have to push other work aside, and partly because sleep deprivation should carry a premium.
Ready?
Then stop hesitating. The best pieces I’ve ever made started with someone brave enough to ask. Send me your idea. Let’s make something that matters. Something that lasts. Something that looks back at you from the wall and refuses to be ignored.
Commission me. The charcoal is warm. The shadows are waiting.
