I will create a custom word portrait for someone you love


About this gig
A portrait is a map of a persons life. Lets draw yours.
Most portraits show what someone looks like. A Word Portrait shows who they are.
100% Hand-Lettered - No Fonts Used. Unlike AI filters or automated apps, every single word in your portrait will hand-drawn by me. I treat your words as the "ink," carefully curving and weighting each letter to capture the physical likeness of the subject.
How it works:
- The Story: You provide a list of 20-40 words, memories, or traits.
- The Photo: You send a high-quality photo of your subject.
- The Art: I translate your words into a custom typographic portrait that captures their spirit.
What you receive:
- A high-resolution, 300 DPI digital file ready for professional printing.
- A piece of art that literally "speaks" for itself.
- Professional communication from a seasoned industry veteran.
Perfect for:
- A thoughtful gift for your favorite person.
- Unique wedding or anniversary gifts.
- Meaningful pet memorials.

FAQ
Are these portraits made using an AI filter?
Absolutely not. Every portrait is hand-lettered by me using an Apple Pencil. Unlike AI or automated apps, I manually place and draw every word to ensure a perfect likeness and a truly bespoke piece of art.
What kind of words should I provide?
Anything that defines the subject! This includes personality traits, favorite memories, inside jokes, meaningful dates, or quotes. A list of 20–40 words works best to create a rich, detailed texture.
Can I get this printed on a large canvas?
Yes. Your final portrait is delivered as a high-resolution, 300 DPI digital file. This is professional print-quality, suitable for everything from a small framed desk photo to a large-scale wall canvas.
How long does the process take?
Because each word is hand-drawn to fit the contours of the face, it is a labor-intensive process. My standard delivery is 7 days, but if you have a tight deadline for a wedding or birthday, let me know and we can work out a faster turnaround.
