FAQ
Are your pieces originals, prints, or both?
Drawings are original, one-of-a-kind pieces. Prints are hand-pulled, carrying the unique character of the artist’s hand. Everyday art (like stickers, stationery, and other small items) is digitally adapted from original work and printed for accessibility and everyday use.
Are your artworks limited edition?
Most of our prints are limited edition, carefully numbered and noted on each product. Some smaller works are open editions, allowing more people to enjoy the art, but the majority remain limited to preserve their uniqueness and value.
What services do you offer for branding?
Emily takes a holistic approach to branding, creating logos and visual identities that touch every area of a business. Occasionally, she also work on smaller graphic projects, such as event materials.
The process begins when you fill out the inquiry form. If it feels like a good fit, Emily will reach out to schedule a meeting to discuss your project in depth. Her process uses a three-point system:
- Three mood board options, with up to three rounds of edits to ensure the right direction.
- Three initial sketches, with up to three revisions. Additional revisions are discussed and compensated separately.
- Final delivery includes a full branding guide, assets, and anything agreed upon in the original contract.
Do you travel for mural projects?
Yes! Travel and lodging will be factored into the project cost.
How long does it take to complete a mural?
Timing depends on the size, complexity, and accessibility of the space (outdoor murals may also be affected by weather). Projects can take anywhere from a single day to a full month.
Can you create murals for residential and commercial spaces?
Absolutely! Murals can be designed for homes, offices, or public spaces, any environment that would benefit from a site-specific, hand-crafted work of art.
If the mural is being installed in a rental or public space, the client is responsible for securing the necessary permissions or approvals before the project begins.
How do you develop site-specific designs?
We start with gathering the dimensions of the space and schedule an onsite meeting to assess all environmental details and take photographs. From there, Emily will design a mural that fits the space perfectly while reflecting the intended story and aesthetic.
