Contact Adelya
A book, a portrait, a product—or an idea that does not fit neatly into a category.
Tell Adelya what you have in mind. A few sentences and a reference can be enough to begin; the scope, timing and practical details can follow the conversation.

Opening email prepares a message in your email app. You choose when to send it. For chat, copy the brief and paste it into the conversation.
The idea. The use.
The details that matter.
What do you need?
Describe the subject and outcome: a portrait, a set of illustrations, a book cover or artwork for a space. Include an approximate image count and any required dimensions.
Where will it appear?
Explain who the artwork is for and how it will be used. Personal display, publishing, advertising and products need different scope and licensing decisions.
What are the boundaries?
Share your date, budget range and important production requirements. Mention anything still undecided, a surprise gift or a confidentiality request.
References help most when they come with a sentence about what you like: the colour, expression, texture, atmosphere or composition. Use images you have permission to share and link to the portfolio pieces that feel closest to your idea.
You can keep it simple.
“I am making…
The illustration is for…
It will be used on…
I expect to need… images or versions.
The date I am working toward is…
My approximate budget is…
I like these pieces from your portfolio because…”
You do not need an answer for every line. A first conversation can clarify what is possible and which decisions need to be made before the work starts.
Write your project emailFirst, a useful discussion.
The project is reviewed for artistic fit, scope and availability. Questions about references, formats and intended use help shape a proposal rather than forcing your idea into an unrelated package.
The written quote and confirmation establish the commission: artwork, deliverables, review stages, rights, price and timing. Sending an inquiry does not automatically reserve a date or create an order.
For an existing order, include its reference and use the same email conversation where possible. For physical delivery questions, describe the item and destination. Do not send payment-card details or other unnecessary sensitive information.

Let the work introduce itself.
Browse the portfolio for a visual direction, or follow a process story in the journal. You can return with a link to the piece that caught your attention.
