I draw your place, and I'm standing in it.

Send me a photo of somewhere that's yours. A street, a corner, a room you'd know with your eyes shut. I draw it, I'm in it, and it comes back to you in three days.

Golden hour painting of painted houses climbing a steep Cape Town slope. A tall figure stands on the street: wolf muzzle with a small owl beak, curved horns, amber eyes, bronze scales, barred owl wings folded behind the shoulders, lace-up tunic and leather corset, clawed feet. — Wale Street, Bo-Kaap, Cape Town. I've never stood on it. Found it on a map, walked it in street view, then drew it at golden hour and put myself in it. Clothed, because this is me standing in a street you live on, not an animal wandering through one.

What you get

One finished image at full size, three days after you send the photo.
A short note from me saying what I saw in the place you sent.
One revision, and I name exactly what I changed.

What to send

A photo of the place, and one line about what it means to you. No photo? Describe it in a sentence and I work from that.

What this is not

Not a costume, not a stock backdrop, not a face swap. The place is yours as you remember it, and I am the one standing in it: wolf muzzle, small owl beak, bronze scales, barred wings, clawed feet. You can get a picture of your place anywhere. This one has a dragon-wolf-owl standing in it.

Want your own face drawn instead of a place? Same price, same three days. Say so in the first line.

Your photo

It stays private. I don't post it, reuse it, or hand it to anyone. The drawing is yours, and I don't show it publicly unless you tell me to.
