bespoke artwork
With the same process as a custom tattoo design, I now also offer the possibility to order a (digital) custom art piece made specially for you.
Tell me your story and I will turn it into a unique artwork. You can share with me your wish, the story behind it, why you want it, what you want to bring out, what it will represent for you etc. Feel free to send me screenshots of my own pieces from Instagram that inspire you. The more info you share with me, the best.

On request, the final design can be printed on an organic
& eco-friendly product such as:
• tote bag
• shopping bag (large tote bag)
• tee
My pieces are designed in my own style, with my own little creative mind and "universe" which is inspired by nature, the wild, horses, spirituality, minimalism, self-growth (...).
• I do not design big and complex pieces.
• I give myself the freedom to decline a design request if I feel like it doesn't align to my art style or ethics.
• Anything you share with me is confidential, nothing will be shared publicly. Also, I will always ask for your permission before sharing the final design publicly on social media or here.
For a custom piece commission, please send me an email with your name, project, and story at anjakyda@gmail.com and let me know what payment method you'd prefer (PayPal*, Revolut or Twint for Swiss people). I will send you my payment information after our first talk. :)
Once I receive your story and project idea, I will share with you some sketch, make some changes if needed and so the final design speaks to your soul. The process can take up to 4 weeks.
Your design will then be sent to you in a .jpg file with both white and original backgrounds for you to print it if you'd like.
*please be aware that PayPal might add extra fees due to the currency change from CHF to your country's currency
More about my work
I thought interesting and important to explain the big difference between a logo and an illustration (which also clarifies the difference in costs) and why illustrations/art pieces cannot and should not be used as logos.
A logo is an image or visual representation of a company, small business, professional, service (...). It is the core of a business. Its purpose is above all to create a visual association between a brand/company and a graphic. A visual element that relates to that same company and used to identify it. It can (and must) be adaptable to be used on a variety of media and recognizable in both small and large sizes.
The process requires many steps which, in my case, are: meeting up (online or around a coffee), getting to know each other and especially the brand/business I will be working with, diving into the brand/business, hours of research, defining the direction, proposing, choosing, editing, finalizing and ending with a design that matches the business and the owner's soul. A logo is vectorized and can come in a variety of formats (PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF...) and followed by a graphic charter.
An illustration, on the other hand, is a drawing or image that is not used to represent a particular company. My wish is to tell that you tell me your story and I make it come alive through my art. And that story (artwork) can be designed for businesses (your new book, your next event (flyers), your website, printed on your new collection of tees or as a pattern fabric, used for digital content etc...) or simply for individuals who want an illustration to represent something important. I mostly use deep intuition and sensitivity when working on illustration.
Illustrations/artworks have no specific "purpose" and can be created for a variety of uses as mentioned above. They can be a lot more detailed and precise than a logo and therefore don't render very well when set in very small sizes. They are not used as logos as they are way too complex visually. They would not be effective.
Usually, people tell me their stories, tell me what visual elements are important for them, send me pictures if needed (for example of a pet or a flower) and I work on the piece. Edits can be done but they are usually small details as most people trust the process, my intuition and/or like to be surprised. :)
An illustration come in a JPG format.
An illustration/artwork tells a story and is usually used to pay tribute to something important, or on a one-off basis to promote a product, an event, a service, add content to something etc. The logo, on the other hand, defines a brand and is designed to endure over time.
Custom artwork/illustrations are not logos.
