Stories Without Words
Images for the ideas a photograph can't reach.
Method before style
Flat and graphic, or painted and dense — the style follows the subject. What every work shares is the method: evocative, never literal.

PREPAID CREDITS
Buy credits once, choose the images later
The catalogue comes in two lines. Core is flat and graphic, built to read at a glance and leave the page to your words. Selected carries a denser hand and a fuller palette, for images meant to hold a reader longer.
Credit packs let you pay for one line up front and choose the illustrations later, as projects come in.
Core creditsThe flat, graphic line. €39 per illustration, Standard licence.
Selected creditsThe denser, worked line. €75 per illustration, Standard licence.
-
One line, one licence
Credits are tied to the line and licence you bought them for, so a pack cannot be spent on something it was not meant for.
-
Extended is always three times the Standard
The same rule applies whether you pay per image or with credits.
-
Redeem when the project arrives
Choose the illustrations later, one at a time, from the whole catalogue.
