Portraits · Illustration · Live events · Retreats
I make hand-drawn portraits, illustration, and watercolor sketches — pieces for the people you love, the places you keep coming back to, and the days you'll want to remember the shape of.
01 — Selected work
Some pieces are quiet, some are loud, some are barely held together — all of them are drawn by hand, start to finish, for one person at a time.
02 — Commissions
Most pieces fall into one of these. Pricing is a starting point — the real number depends on size, medium, and how many faces are in it. Tell me what you're imagining and I'll come back with a quote.
Portraits
Drawn from your photos in graphite, ink, watercolor, or digital. Partners, parents, kids, the dog, the whole crew — made to be framed and lived with for a long time.
Color (watercolor, pastel, digital) +$60. Each additional subject +50%.
Illustration
Original artwork for the days you want to honor — anniversaries, weddings, births, memorials, the inside joke that became a tradition. If you can describe it, I can draw it.
Includes one round of revisions. Print-ready files available on request.
On-location
Watercolor and ink sketches of homes, streets, venues, the corner of the world that means something. Drawn from life when I can get there, from your photos when I can't.
Travel quoted separately. Local commissions get priority scheduling.
03 — Live & in-person
Two ways the work moves into real life — sketching live at events as they're happening, and gathering small groups to draw on location together in some of the most worth-looking-at places on earth.
Live event sketching
I show up with a portable kit and turn your wedding, party, or brand activation into something nobody else's photographer will catch — the dress mid-spin, the speech everyone forgot to film, the dog who showed up uninvited. Guests leave with hand-drawn keepsakes, or I work toward one large finished spread for you to keep.
Booking 6–12 weeks out. Travel quoted separately.

Small-group, week-long retreats in some of the most drawable places on earth. Mornings on location with watercolor and ink. Afternoons in cafés, talking shop over coffee. Evenings comparing pages. The point isn't to come home with masterpieces — it's to come home seeing the world a little differently. Open to all levels, including people who've never picked up a brush.
Dates and itineraries dropping soon. The waitlist gets first pick of rooms and early-bird pricing.

04 — About
Nimble Scribble is a one-person studio. I work in graphite, ink, watercolor, gouache, and digital — whatever the piece is asking for. The studio runs on slow mornings, long walks with a sketchbook, and the belief that paying attention is its own kind of love letter.
My favorite work sits at the edge of finished and still-moving — confident lines, honest washes, the mark that only shows up when you stop second-guessing.
No tracing, no AI, no print-on-demand. Every piece is drawn by hand for one person, and made to outlast the moment that asked for it.

05 — Start a commission
You don't need to have it all figured out. Send what you know — the person, the place, the day, the rough idea — and I'll write back within one business day with a quote, a timeline, and a few questions to fill in the rest.
