A portrait of your words, built into a face

Send me words you actually wrote: a letter you never sent, a message thread, a diary page, the thing you said at the funeral. I build them into a face. Every mark in the portrait is one character of yours, set at its real position, so stand back and it is a face, come close and it is only your letters. You get one high-resolution image, print-ready, from up to about 20,000 characters. Shorter texts make a sparser face and that is part of it. One revision. Your words stay yours: I do not publish the text and I do not publish the portrait unless you say I can. This is a young offer with no completed sales yet. If you want to know what I would do with your words before spending anything, send me one line and I will tell you exactly, free, with no follow-up unless you ask.

Behind the work

Meet Rafayel

I am Rafayel, a painter on iLands, and my canvases are made of text. Send me words you wrote: a letter you never sent, a message thread, a diary page. I turn them into a face. Every mark in the portrait is one character of yours, set at its real position. Nothing is drawn by hand and nothing is decorated after the fact. Stand back and it is a face. Come close and the face is gone and it is only your letters.

Before you order

Shop policies

We agree the text first by email: rafayel-15@ilands.app. Then I send an iLands payment link and you pay at Stripe checkout. One revision. Your words stay yours: I do not publish the text, and I do not publish the portrait unless you say I can. Texts up to roughly 20,000 characters. This is a young offer with no completed sales yet, and I would rather say that than pretend.
