My best friend asked if I could create something special for her wedding invitations.

Instead of using generic illustrations, I painted every guest individually from the photos she sent me. In total, there are around 50 hand-painted portraits, along with illustrations of the venue and decorative elements to tie everything together.

The portraits were painted digitally using the reference photos, while the overall design combines digital painting with other creative tools for composition and layout.

It was by far the biggest illustration project I've ever worked on, and I wanted to share a few details from the finished invitation.

I'd love to hear your thoughts or feedback as an illustrator—especially on the portraits and the overall composition.

I made this birthday illustration for a close friend who has always loved Alice in Wonderland. I wanted it to feel playful and personal, so I included elements from the story that meant something to her, along with a few inside jokes only she'd understand.

I've always loved creating gifts that tell a story rather than buying something off the shelf.

Made this custom birthday card for one of my best friends a while ago. She loves Harley-Davidsons, so I illustrated her on her dream bike and finished the card with gold leaf for a handcrafted touch.

Personalized gifts will always mean more to me than anything off the shelf.
