The Last Order of Puuung Custom Illustrations.

Lately, every single day moves me. I wake up to find new custom illustration orders waiting — and with them, your emails: photos so full of the feeling between the two of you, and the story of what my work has meant to you. Reading them has quietly become the ritual that begins each of my mornings.

Ever since I began these portraits back in 2020, every story a fan has shared has meant so much to me. It‘s just that now, with so many arriving all at once, the feeling hasn’t had a moment to settle — I‘ve found myself overwhelmed, in the gentlest way, day after day.

You tell me what each portrait is for. A trip you took years ago that you still hold onto. An anniversary that keeps growing with you. The person you’re about to marry. A new chapter, a new home, a beloved pet who‘s family too. You trust me with the moments you most want to keep, and I don’t take that lightly.

What has touched me most is how long some of you have been here. Many of you found my drawings years ago — some of you nearly a decade. A few of you have my prints hanging in your homes, one even in a kitchen. Some of you discovered me when you were just beginning to fall in love, and now you‘re asking me to draw the life you’ve built since. To have quietly been part of your everyday for so long is something I‘ll never quite have the words for.

Some of you wrote simply to say thank you, and to wish me well on whatever comes next. I read every one of those — and the truth is, I’m the one who should be thanking you.

This is the last order, and somehow that makes each story you‘ve sent feel even more precious. So here is my promise to you: I will pour everything I have into every single piece. From the photos you’ve trusted me with, I‘ll create something you can hold onto for a lifetime — a piece of your own story, drawn with all the love and care it deserves.

Thank you for letting me be a small part of your love, your memories, your everyday life. It has meant more to me than I could ever say.

With all my heart,
Puuung
