Personalized books

A studio service

A Father's Day book that says it properly.

A 16-page keepsake book made for him. You write the words — the lessons, the inside jokes, the things you wish you'd said — and our studio illustrates each spread. Printed, hardbound, delivered in 10 days. The kind of gift that ends up on his desk, not in a drawer.

N° 01What it is

Sixteen pages of what you actually want to tell him

You write 6-12 short memories, lessons, or thank-yous — one per spread — and we illustrate each one in our studio's watercolor or hand-painted digital style. The things you've never said out loud, the phrases he said that live in your head, the moments that matter. Hardbound, 8×8 inches, full colour.

01

Write what you want

We give you prompts if you're stuck — 'a lesson he taught without knowing', 'the trip you still talk about' — but you write the words.

02

Illustrated, not laid out

Every spread is original artwork. Not a template with a photo dropped in.

03

Photo integration if you want

Send 1-3 photos and our illustrator paints them into the artwork. Portrait illustration style, not a snapshot composite.

N° 02Who orders this

Adult children, mostly, and a few new moms

Most clients are adult children — the gift goes to dad or grandpa. We also do this for new moms ordering for the father of their newborn, framed as 'first Father's Day'. We've made it for stepfathers, fathers-in-law, and memorial editions for fathers who have passed. We can handle whatever the relationship is.

The answers we give most often.

16 pages, which is 6-8 illustrated spreads. We can extend to 24 pages for an extra $40 if you have more to say.
Can I include photos?
Yes. We can paint photos directly into the artwork — they look like portrait illustrations. $30 per photo, capped at 6 photos per book.
Can it be a book for a stepfather, grandfather, or father-in-law?
Yes — the prompts adapt to whoever the recipient is. Tell us the relationship in the brief.
What if he's a new dad and this is his first Father's Day?
We have a 'First Father's Day' template that focuses on the pregnancy, the birth, and the first months. Tell us in the brief.
Can it be in another language?
English, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Urdu — yes. Add 5 days to the timeline for translated typography.
What if he has passed away?
We do memorial editions — 'in memory of' framing, with a softer palette. Tell us in the brief and we'll handle the tone with care.
Can I order in time for Father's Day?
Order by June 1st for US/UK Father's Day (third Sunday in June). Production is 7-10 days, shipping adds 3-5 days.
