Custom, every piece
All work drawn in-house — nothing off the wall.
Custom only
Every piece is drawn for one client, one body, one time. No flash sheets, ever.
Appointment only
Every session is scheduled in advance. The studio does not take walk-ins.
Consult first
An in-person consult at the studio comes before any booking is made.
Our style only
No cover-ups outside the work we're known for. Ask about yours at a consult.
01 — The Studio
A studio for collectors,
not foot traffic.
Black River is a three-artist private studio in East Austin. Each resident works in a separate style, and every project — large or small — begins with an in-person consult before a date is ever booked.
- Custom work only — drawn for you, never repeated
- In-person consult required before booking
- Six-month wait on most artists — plan ahead
02 — The Work
Three styles.
Nothing off the wall.
Each resident artist holds a separate lane. You come to us with an idea; the consult decides whose hand it belongs in.
01
Black-and-grey realism
Photographic depth and soft-shadow shading, rendered strictly in black-and-grey.

02
Fine-line botanical
Botanical studies in hairline weight — stems, petals, and leaves drawn for the body they land on.

03
Japanese-inspired large work
Japanese-inspired composition at full scale — flowing work planned for the largest canvases of the body.

Considered case by case — within our style only. Bring it to a consult and we'll tell you straight.
03 — From the Chair
What collectors say.
The consult sold me. An hour talking through placement and scale before a single date was booked — nobody else works like that.
D.M.
Large-scale piece
Six months felt long. Then I saw the drawing, and I would have waited a year.
R.T.
Black-and-grey realism
No flash, no walk-ins, no noise. Just three artists who take the work seriously.
