process: To commission a word portrait, please read the step by step process
below.
1. Write a paragraph of personal narrative that is
representative of who you are. The things that you
don't always offer up to people easily. Poignant
experiences, strong memories and personal beliefs.
These are the things I am looking for. Good, bad and
even the ordinary, it doesn't matter as long as it
means something to you.
2. Submit your story. Once I have received and read your
narrative, I reinterpret it in the form of an abstracted text
portrait. Content becomes slightly blurred and lines distorted
creating a cryptic statement. Much like the details of our stories
get twisted as they are retold and retold again.
The designed narrative is then submitted to you for approval.
3. Once you approve the design layout, select the
commission size and make payment through Paypal. I
then begin the word portrait. After you approve the
sketch, I work with you to put together a color base
palette. The modulation of these colors is based off of my
feel of the content. The way it makes me feel, how it
resonates with me, the audience.
4. Word portraits typically are finished and shipped
within 4 weeks of payment.
