Frequently asked questions

Am I buying an original or a print?

An original. Every creature is a one-of-a-kind graphite drawing on paper, drawn by hand and signed. There are no reproductions — once a creature is adopted, it is gone.

How big is it?

21 × 29.5 cm, or 8.3 × 11.7 inches — standard A4. It fits any off-the-shelf A4 frame.

Does it come framed?

No. Drawings are sold unframed so you can choose a frame that suits your wall, and so the drawing travels flat and safe. Any A4 frame will fit.

What is it drawn with?

Graphite pencil on paper. No digital work and no reproduction — the object you receive is the one I made.

What does "adopt" mean?

It is just my word for buying one. Each creature represents a feeling — anxiety, doubt, stubbornness, hope — and people tend to choose the one that recognises them rather than the one that matches the sofa. Adopting felt closer to what actually happens.

Why 100 creatures?

Because a hundred is enough to stop performing and start being honest. The series is a daily practice: one drawing at a time, each one a state of mind I could not otherwise say out loud. You can follow it as it grows.

How long will delivery take?

Between 2 and 4 working days within Croatia, 5 to 10 across the EU, 10 to 20 to the US and Canada, and up to 25 elsewhere. Everything is tracked and posted within 2 to 3 working days of your order.

Will I have to pay customs or import duty?

Not in the United States. Original works of art are exempt from US import duty, and your parcel is declared so that the exemption applies. Elsewhere the rules vary — if you are unsure about your country, ask me before ordering.

Can I buy more than one?

Yes, and shipping is free when you do. Two or more drawings travel in the same envelope, anywhere in the world.

The creature I want is sold out. Now what?

Each drawing is unique, so a sold creature cannot come back. Join the list and you will see new creatures before they go public — that is how most of them find homes now.

Can you draw a creature for me?

Not as part of this series — the hundred have to come from my own head or the project stops meaning anything. If you have something else in mind, email me and let us talk.

What if it arrives damaged?

Photograph it and email me within 14 days. Full refund including postage, and you do not need to send anything back.

Still have a question?

Email me at [your email address] — I read everything myself, usually within a day.
