Private Commissions: Illustrated Book \u201cNoi\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For this beautiful private commission<\/strong>, the special occasion was the birth of M. and G.\u2019s first child<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

M. contacted me to create this children\u2019s book<\/strong>, providing a wonderful text that recounts the highlights of their love story<\/strong> leading up to the birth of their little one.<\/p>\n

We spoke on the phone, and she told me about how they met, their special places, and their travels\u2026<\/p>\n

I then used the photographs she provided to draw the characters based on real images, as well as the locations important to their story.<\/p>\n

These commissions always move me, because they allow me to be part of a small piece<\/strong> of the client\u2019s life, their emotions<\/strong> (such as the birth of their first child), and a part of their story<\/strong>. A beautiful relationship of trust always develops, and at the moment of delivering the final book I always feel a little nostalgic\u2014but happy to have contributed to creating such a special object that will remain in the hearts of M. and her family for many years.<\/p>\n

Since this book<\/strong> was custom-made for the client without a publishing house<\/strong>, I also handled the layout<\/strong>, cover design<\/strong>, and printing<\/strong>, delivering a complete, finished product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
