Staud

Custom Illustration / Hand-Painted Accessories / Fashion Since October 2023, I've collaborated with Los Angeles-based fashion brand STAUD, creating custom hand-painted pet portraits on leather handbags. Each piece is individually illustrated and painted, translating personal photographs into detailed portraits while working directly on the finished product. The process requires precision, sensitivity to the material, and the ability to capture each animal's distinctive personality and character. This ongoing work combines traditional painting techniques with commercial illustration, bringing a personal, one-of-a-kind element to STAUD's accessories.
