Your photograph, drawn with a pen.
Not printed. A machine holds a real pen and draws it on a real sheet of paper, one line at a time. I plot each one myself in the Netherlands and post it to you.
Free to design · you only pay if you want it drawn
Four things worth drawing.
Pick one, frame it, choose the paper and the pen. That is the whole job.

A photograph
A face, a dog, a house. The image is read on your own device and never uploaded.

A place
The streets around an address — where you live, where you met, where you were married.

A mountain
Real elevation. Drawn in plan as contour intervals, or in relief as ridgelines — the same survey, two ways.

A spacecraft
Turned to the angle you want, drawn as an outline with its own title block. White on navy, the way the word means it. Models are public-domain NASA meshes.
Draw a spacecraft
It is drawn, not printed.
A pen plotter holds an ordinary pen and moves it across the sheet. You can watch the line appear. Every sheet is drawn from start to finish before the next one begins.

You design it
In the browser, free, as many times as you like. Nothing is sent anywhere while you work on a photograph.

I plot it
On my own machine, on the paper and in the ink you chose. One sheet at a time, checked by eye before it goes out.

It arrives flat
Posted flat within the EU. The drawing is the object — there is no file to download.
Drawings the machine has made.
Every one of these is real output from the same geometry kernel that runs in the editor — the actual paths a pen would follow, not a preview of them.

Photographs of the finished prints on paper replace these renders before launch.
One person, one machine.
I built the geometry kernel that turns your picture into pen paths, and I own the plotter that draws it. There is no print shop in the middle. That is why each sheet takes as long as it takes, and why it is worth having.
Drawn and posted from the Netherlands, within the EU.
