The Mini-Paintings Project: Tiny Art, Big Stories

About this collection
Each square on this canvas is a tiny piece of a larger story, from 90s cartoons to the phases of the moon. I started this as a 365 day painting challenge, but it quickly became a space to connect with all of you. If you have an idea or a memory that deserves a spot on my grid, let's talk about how we can make it happen.
This project is honestly my happy place. What started as a personal 365 day challenge—where I struggled to find daily inspiration—turned into this massive, collaborative grid. You guys kept sending in your requests: favorite movies, childhood cartoons, nature scenes, or just quiet moments. Now, it is a collection of over 200 tiny paintings, and it is still growing.
Whether you want a tiny version of your favorite pet, a specific movie reference, or a memory that makes you smile, I can paint it. These mini-pieces are done with the same love as my large commissions, just on a smaller, more intimate scale. They are perfect as unique gifts or as a little something special for your own desk or wall.
If you want to see a specific theme or a personal memory on this grid, just drop me a message. We will discuss the details and get it on the canvas. It is all about capturing those little things that bring us joy.
