Type of Commissions

Ink Drawing

Custom ink drawings make meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts. Whether it’s a beloved pet, a special place, or a personal symbol, each piece is designed to capture emotional connection through expressive line work. Pet portraits are especially popular, as are homes and buildings with sentimental value—perfect for anniversaries, housewarmings, or milestones. Created in my signature style of crosshatching and stippling, these are not hyper-realistic renderings, but artistic interpretations that evoke memory and meaning. If you're looking for a custom gift with heart and artistry, an ink drawing might be the perfect fit.

Linocut Prints

Custom linocut prints are a beautiful way to create meaningful, shareable gifts. Whether it’s a symbolic design or a way to commemorate a special event, each hand-carved print reflects both artistry and intention. Perfect for weddings, family gifts, or celebrations, these prints allow you to share the same design with multiple people. Printed by hand in small batches, each piece is slightly unique—combining bold design with handcrafted charm. If you’re looking for a heartfelt gift that can be shared, a custom linocut print is a timeless choice.

Type of Commissions

Tattoo Design

Custom tattoo designs are a meaningful way to carry personal symbolism with you, forever. Whether inspired by nature, a cherished memory, or a symbol unique to your story, each design is created with intention and care. I work closely with you to understand the essence behind your idea, translating it into a bold, clean design perfectly suited for tattooing. Unlike designs pulled from Pinterest or flash sheets, these one-of-a-kind pieces are crafted in my signature style to truly honor your vision. If you want a tattoo that’s deeply personal, original, and visually striking, a custom design may be the perfect fit.

What I Create

I specialize in creating symbolic, eye-catching artwork that celebrates the natural world, particularly plants and animals. I take the following types of commission: ink drawing, linocut prints, and tattoo designs.

I create with a clean graphic aesthetic, characterized by crisp lines, simplified shapes, and a modern visual language. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted with my signature style and a neutral color palette. To maintain the integrity of my artistic voice, I work exclusively within these themes.

It's also important to understand that commissioning an artwork is not the same as working with me on a graphic design project. Graphic design often involves multiple rounds of revisions and close adherence to detailed specifications. An art commission, on the other hand, is a more intuitive and expressive process.

When you commission a piece of art from me, you're trusting in my creative interpretation—allowing space for symbolism, mood, and meaning to emerge organically through my style. Rather than replicating an image, the goal is to bring the meaning of your piece to life through artistic expression.

Before moving forward with a commission, please be sure this approach aligns with your expectations. Artistic collaborations thrive on mutual trust and creative freedom.

My Process

  • 1. Initial Consultation

    We'll connect over email to discuss your vision, including the subject, meaning, color choices, and any specific elements you'd like incorporated.

  • 2. Proposal and Deposit

    Once we’ve finalized the concept, I’ll provide a quote based on the size of the piece. To secure your spot and begin, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required.

  • 3. The Creation Process

    The creation process typically takes 6–8 weeks, during which I’ll work to bring your vision to life with my unique artistic approach.

  • 4. Your Progress Update

    Midway through the process, I’ll provide an update with selected details of the piece to show progress while keeping the complete work under wraps.

  • 5. Completion 🎉

    Upon completion, I’ll send you final images for your approval and organize the delivery of your custom piece.

Pricing

Pricing is determined by the size of the piece and the complexity of the requested details. If you’re unsure which dimensions are best for your space, I’m happy to offer guidance. If framing is requested, that will be factored into the final quote. Shipping is included in all pricing.

Additional Details

  • All commissions are created in my signature style and are not intended to be realistic representations.
  • A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot and cover initial materials.

    I hired Emily to make a commissioned piece for my then girlfriend and now fiance and she absolutely nailed it. It was a hand drawn portrait of my wife's childhood dog and it was spot on and so well done. Hire InkPenInk for any and all commissioned pieces. She is incredible. - James F

    Emily has an incredible eye for detail and intentional design. I’d be thrilled to have any of her pieces in my home, but having a custom piece made was truly so special. I loved watching her vision and mine come together in her unique style. There’s nothing else like it! I can always spot an Inkpen piece because of how distinct and original her work is. - Ariel C
