Start a personal commissionCommission the place
you can't stop thinking about.
A wedding venue. Your first apartment. The main street of your hometown. Our artist draws it by hand in the City Postcards style, and prints it on fine art paper — an original gift no one else can give twice.
How it works
Four steps, start to framed.
01
Brief
Tell us the place, the occasion, and any photos or details that matter. Ten minutes is enough to begin.
02
Sketch
The artist blocks in the composition by hand and shares a first line drawing for your notes.
03
Proof
Colour goes in. You approve a digital proof — small changes included, no surprises.
04Print
Your art is printed on fine paper as postcards, prints, or a framed piece, and shipped across Canada.

Commission FAQ.
How long does a commission take?
Most personal and event commissions are proofed within two to three weeks, then printed and shipped. Rush timelines are often possible — just tell us your date.
Can I request changes?
Yes. You approve a line sketch and then a colour proof, with a round of small changes included at each stage.
What do I actually receive?
Your choice of fine-paper postcards, art prints, or a framed piece — plus optional print-ready digital files for events.
Who owns the artwork?
You get full personal or agreed commercial usage; the artist retains the original copyright. Business and licensing terms are set in your quote.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes — every commission ships Canada-wide, and internationally on request.
