Commissioned pen and ink shelf portrait

Immortalise your favourite books in art form.

The perfect way to capture your love for the written word, custom bookshelf illustrations can either be of the actual copies of books that you own, where I will capture the wear and tear, creases and cracks, that your repeated readings have left marked on the spine, or of vintage copies of the titles, usually first editions if an image is available, or an edition of your choice.

Each piece is entirely unique, illustrated using fountain pen and ink on 100% cotton watercolour paper. Your piece will last for years to come. Once a piece is complete, it will be carefully packaged and posted to you by a tracked and signed service only. Please note all pieces are supplied unmounted and unframed.

The commission process is fairly simple, for a detailed breakdown of the process and timescales, please see the Commissions page.

Please note that commissioned pieces are illustrated to order, and the lead time will be affected by delays in replying to communications. Cancellations for full refunds are only applicable within the first 48 hours, once the commission process has begun (you have replied to my first follow-up email) full refunds are no longer applicable.
