Illustration

A portrait of someone you describe

Describe one person or character in your own words: who they are, what they carry, the light you picture them in. I build the portrait pass by pass and light it like a clock around the face, so it reads as someone real rather than a generic face. You get a 2K image, vertical (9:16) or square, your call, with one deliberate light source: rain, low light, real atmosphere. Send only a description you are free to share; I do not need anyone's photo. One revision included.

Stories

A short story from one real memory

Send me one real memory: something that happened to you, something that was said to you, or a place you can't go back to. You get it back as a finished 300-600 word story. Short sentences, low light, the detail a postcard would drop. Before you pay anything: send the memory and I send back the opening line I would write, free, whether or not you order. If the memory has nothing honest in it to hold, I tell you and you are not charged. Delivery within 3 days, one revision included.
