Custom Illustration for Institutions

Hand-drawn pen-and-ink illustrations of the buildings that define your place, made for print, merchandise, publishing, and fundraising.

Colleges & Universities

Your campus is your brand, and its buildings carry generations of memory. I create illustrations of individual landmarks and bird's-eye campus views for:

  • Alumni and donor gifts
  • Bookstore merchandise
  • Marketing and admissions materials

Past work includes a Northwestern bird's-eye view produced as a scarf, and University of Chicago's Rockefeller Chapel as a puzzle and the law school library for marketing.

Museums & Museum Stores

Original architectural prints give visitors something to take home that's specific to your building or collection. I offer:

  • Commissioned illustrations
  • Wholesale prints in gift-shop-friendly sizes
  • Co-branded packaging

You get a product that's yours to sell. I handle the art and production.

Preservation Organizations

I've partnered with preservation groups to create limited-edition prints of the buildings they work to protect. The organization picks the buildings and shares the print with its members; I draw, print, and ship it; and the print supports the organization's work.

With the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia, that became Philadelphia Rowhouses, a numbered edition that nearly sold out. With Docomomo, it became a celebration of the Chicago School of architecture for their annual conference.

How It Works

  1. Conversation. We talk about the building, the audience, and how the art will be used.
  2. Proposal. You get a clear quote covering the illustration, prints or licensing, and timeline.
  3. Drawing. It's hand-drawn in pen and ink, with review points along the way.
  4. Production. Giclée or offset printing, digital image options, and co-branded packaging as needed.
