The Brick Bahay Process

Thank you so much for your interest in your very own Brick Bahay portrait!

So where do we begin?

1. Start by giving this page a quick read. If you’re here, you are in the right place!

2. Imagine how you’d want your portrait to look. Before you spend any $$, head to our Design Page where your creativity comes into play!

   • Color options, BB patterns, and borders will be there for you to choose from

   • Tip: keep a pen and paper handy to take note of the choices that catch your eye

3. Purchase your portrait under our Shop tab. This is a one-of-a-kind artwork, so all sales are final.

   • Unfortunately, I am only delivering the portraits in person during this infancy period

   • Shipping is coming soon! OR! Meet me in the Bay!

4. Keep an eye out for my confirmation along with your invitation to send photos.

5. Send up to 5 high-resolution photos of your subject (it can be you or a loved one!), ideally in great lighting so I can capture every detail beautifully.

   • Pets, groups, and couples may be doable depending on the quality of the photos. If your subject are any of these, please ask first before you purchase your portrait.

6. Get excited! You will receive a brickified digital render of your portrait plus the color swatch.

7. Review and approve your render. We will work together to create the perfect portrait. It’s ok if it doesn’t look right the 1st (or 2nd or 3rd…) go around. We want YOU to be happy! Once you give the thumbs-up, the building magic begins.

8. Watch your artwork come to life!

   • I will send progress photos in two stages:

     1. after the greyscale face is complete, and

     2. optionally, a sneak peek of the finished piece… or you can keep the final reveal a surprise until you see it in person.

This is a truly special gift and an investment in handmade art. Thank you for trusting us with it!

With Love,

-Jo & Jay
