Adorn the Word of God
With unique hand-painted illustrations
Let’s create a custom Bible together. I will bring your vision to life by creating a curated painting on the cover of your Bible to speak directly to you.
What we offer:
You can order a NEW BIBLE through the artist (from a standard Bible, Journaling, or study Bible depending on your preference) or send in YOUR OWN BIBLE to get painted on!
The artist will work with you to design and create your Bible Illustration. Through mood boards, personal photos, and other methods, Olivia will create a digital proof of your illustration to be approved to meet your needs. Once approved, she will paint on your Bible!
Bible covers are prepped and painted with acrylic paint. Once dry, they are sealed with archival varnish to protect the paint for everyday use.
-
Standard Bible: A typical Bible you would pick up, with standard margins. Any translation available in hardcover or softcover.
Journaling Bible: Typically has 2-inch margins and thicker pages suitable for writing. Perfect for writing notes, prayers, drawing, and more. Available in most translations- hardcover or softcover
Study Bible: A Bible with explanatory notes printed along with the text of Scripture. Many Bibles have footnotes with cross-references or very brief notes that may clarify the definition of a word, but a study Bible has much more extensive notes and may also include maps, charts, illustrations, and photos. A study Bible is like a Bible and commentary all in one. Available in most translations- hardcover or softcover and some journaling options.
-
When Olivia creates illustrations for her non-commissioned Bibles, she is usually inspired by sections of scripture, hymns, or creation. You are welcome to recreate a previous illustration done for your own custom Bible.
When describing your illustration criteria, include any colors, subjects, and/or scripture you prefer. Personal photos are welcome, but faces are not recommended.
If you are not sure how to describe your vision for your illustration, create a collection of inspiration photos or a mood board! Pick a color palette and a few inspiration photos (photos picked may not be used in the final illustration).
