Specializing in translating digital illustrations into papercraft artistry, mostly through portraits, fan art, layered typography, and other whimsical/pop culture wonderies.

I love working on commission projects to help turn client visions into a beautiful paper work of cherished art

Interested in a custom piece?

Fill out the quick request questionnaire to tell me a little about your project idea. Once I receive your request I will reach out to setup a consultation where we can talk through your project idea, and I can walk you through my process. Timelines for projects can be quite variable depending on the complexity of your vision, material availability, and my current workload. I believe in full transparency and will provide realistic delivery dates & updates throughout the process. After the consult I will send you a quote based on our discussion.

I love taking on new challenges - puzzling through design requests of all kind really makes me happy. Paper is my medium of choice, but if there is something in particular you are envisioning for your piece, let’s talk it out. I’ve included mixed materials like string & foil, painted backgrounds, and used chipboard to created shadowboxes with deep layers.

Pricing is also quite variable and may change from the initial quote. Size, complexity, material selection, shipping, and timeline all factor into the final pricing of the piece but I try to be fair and upfront before the process begins - while I love challenges, I don’t love surprises and I don’t want to catch anyone off guard at the delivery of their piece. I will provide updates regularly through the development & construction of your piece.

If you have other questions or would like information about collaborations, my commission process, or general inquiry, send me an email here: emspaces.design

Common Commission Requests

Portraits

Pet portraits have been the most requested (and I love them!) but I can take on human portraits as well

Anime & game characters have been my current faves, but with enough source material I can generally find a solution to bring your vision to paper life
