Power Animal Commissions

A hand-drawn ink portrait, shaped by intricate linework, symbolism, and an intuitive process.

Each commission begins with a conversation — about the Power Animal you'd like drawn and what it means to you. From there, I work slowly and intuitively, building the piece through line, symbolic detail, and close observation. Every commission is a unique original, drawn by hand in black ink on paper.

What's included:

  • Original Power Animal Portrait illustration— hand-drawn in black ink with subtle pencil accents, presented in a gallery-quality black frame with white passe-partout, ready to hang.

  • Sizes and Pricing— A4 (30×40 cm framed) & A3 (40×50 cm framed)

  • High-Resolution Digital Files— includes both full-size (A4) and postcard formats for personal use or printing.

  • Power Animal Symbolism Guide (PDF) — a written reflection on the symbolism and archetypal meaning of your Power Animal.

  • Free worldwide shipping — each piece is carefully packaged and shipped worldwide.

  • A note on Power Animal drum journeys (optional)

    For those who'd like to meet their Power Animal before I begin drawing, I offer a guided drum journey — as a pre-recorded audio session you can do in your own time, or as a live session with me via Zoom or in person in Lisbon/Ericeira. Many people find it a meaningful way to arrive at the commission with a clearer sense of the animal they're asking me to draw. Feel free to ask about this when we connect.

“The drawing of my Power Animal is incredibly beautiful. It serves as a quiet companion and a reminder of what I'm connecting to in my life.”

— Marcelle Bottini

The Process

  1. Conversation

    After you reach out, I'll send a short questionnaire about your chosen animal, any preferences, and the personal context you'd like me to consider.

  2. Creation

    I begin the drawing through my own process, working slowly in ink on paper. Most commissions are completed within approximately four weeks.

  3. Delivery

    Your original artwork is carefully packaged and shipped with all accompanying materials.
