Do you feel the roots in your veins and the sky in your eyes? Do plants and trees feel like they’re part of you? Do you breathe with the leaves as they give the gift of life? These portraits are for YOU, my fellow Earth lover!
Whether you’re looking for a gift for a loved one or for a way to celebrate your own love for the Earth, I’d love to put anyone you want into a plant covered world where mind, body, spirit, and Earth are one in the same. These graphite, original, completely hand-drawn portraits are specific to those who want to spread messages of deep relation with Earth and all living things. They’re a way of sharing your own mission to blur the lines between human and nature and call for a celebration of Earthly abundance.
Note: For clarification, these commissions are specific to the styles shown above and are not for landscapes, houses, or any other unrelated subject. Each piece is unique and based on your personal love for plant life. These are graphite portraits, they will not include any color. Have questions? See below and don’t hesitate to reach out.
How does it work?
I will maintain steady communication throughout the whole process in order to make sure you are completely happy with your commission.
First I’ll ask for reference photos.
This needs to be a high quality, clear image (or images) of a portrait. If you have multiple options, we’ll decide together which reference photo will work best. In general, I prefer non-smiling photos but we can make anything work. :)
Then we’ll talk about plant details and composition.
Do you have any plants that carry significant meaning for you? (Ex. regional plants that remind you of home, plants/herbs that carry ancestral meaning for you, plants that have provided healing or nourishment for you, etc.)
Which of the portraits above inspire you the most? Where would you like the plants placed? Do you want plants growing out of your tongue? Ears? Forehead? Just surrounding you? Whatever it is, we’ll make it work!
Note: If you’re not sure about composition and details, do not worry! I love having creative freedom and I’ll talk you through the process no matter what.
Next I’ll draw-up a simple composition sketch and see what you think.
After that, you’ll send a $100 downpayment and I’ll get to work!
Each portrait takes about 20-30 hours from start to finish. I will have your portrait completed and mailed within 1 month after I receive your deposit.
Final payment is required upon completion of the piece.
Cash, Venmo, PayPal, and Cashapp are all accepted. No checks, please.
