Bespoke Commissions
Your story, made visible.
A RebelFor commission begins with what is already yours: lived experience, personal truths, memories, references, contradictions, and the details that somehow still matter.
You bring your lived experience and personal truths. StoryShaping draws out the details that carry them, distills them into a cohesive story, and the RebelFor process translates that story into a visual world you can encounter.

Find the story worth making.
The strongest commissions come from specificity. A favorite toy from childhood. What you wore when you proposed. The animal you have always loved. The place you remember feeling most free.
StoryShaping uses guided questions and conversation to surface details like these and discover the relationships between them. You don't need to arrive knowing what the artwork should look like. That's part of what we find together.

Input
Draw out what matters.
A few open questions establish what matters, what you imagine, and some of the details that make the story yours. From there, conversation goes deeper.
Insights
Find what connects.
The material is distilled into a set of truths, themes, and relationships. Individually, each says something about you. Together, they begin to reveal the story underneath.
Interpretation
Give the story a language.
Those insights become a narrative of words, symbols, references, relationships, and visual possibilities. From there, the story enters the RebelFor process.
From story to artwork
The grit is there. Now it becomes.
The interpreted story becomes material for Lather, Shadow, Simmer, and Manifest, the same process behind RebelFor's independent work. Symbols accumulate, relationships emerge, assumptions are challenged, and the work gradually becomes itself.

The particulars
Made for where it will live.
A commission is developed with its eventual life in mind. Scale, orientation, placement, complexity, visual direction, physical format, timing, and budget are established together before the work moves too far.
Bespoke commissions begin at $1,000.
Final pricing reflects scale, complexity, StoryShaping requirements, production, and physical format. Key review points are established at the beginning so there is room to respond without designing the work by committee.
Something worth making
What catches you?
You don't need a finished idea. A person, relationship, memory, transition, place, question, or thing you can't quite explain can be enough to begin.
