We interview your family, organize the memories, and deliver an illustrated memoir your children and grandchildren will actually want to read.
Each plate is drawn from your family's photos and memories.
Your producer opens a WhatsApp thread for the project and prompts relatives with the right questions — so aunts, cousins, and grandparents send what matters. Voice notes, phone snaps of old photos, short videos. For tech-shy relatives, we record the interview directly by phone or video call. No app to learn, no forms to fill.
Voice notes transcribed and translated, photographs catalogued, names and dates cross-checked. Your producer shapes the raw memories into a clear story outline — you approve it before any art begins.
Each plate is composed panel by panel, true to your photographs and references. The family reviews and refines every page — likeness, period, tone.
We finish the volume and hand it to the family — yours to keep, yours to share. Extra copies and digital archives available.
Every plate begins with something real — a documentary interview, an archival photograph, a voice memo. Below: three plates from the Jamous family volume, paired with the actual source material that informed them.
Maghen Abraham synagogue, Beirut · Diarna.org archive
A public archive yielded the only color photograph of the synagogue where Shlomo prayed every Shabbat for twenty years.
A Presence of Peace
Chapter 1 · Plate 1 · Maghen Abraham, Beirut, 1984
Mary Jamous, the matriarch · Kan 11 documentary feature
Mary remembers the night the line went dead — the last phone call from her husband, cut mid-sentence.
The Line Goes Dead
Chapter 3 · Plate 23 · The receiver, the cradle, a mother and son
Moshe Jamous, eldest son · Kan 11 documentary feature
Decades later, the eldest son speaks publicly — for the first time — about his father’s disappearance, then a held silence on camera.
The Exhale
Chapter 5 · Plate 35 · After the words, a held silence
Published with the consent of the Jamous family. Documentary stills are from a Kan 11 feature; archival photographs are public.
A producer guides you from the first interview to the printed book — listening, organising, and reviewing each plate with you, so the people you love stay recognisably yours from first page to last.
We outline the family story, then write the script. The artwork serves the story.
Reference sheets built from your family photographs hold faces, clothing, and era stable across every plate.
A producer reviews each plate before delivery — likeness, period accuracy, emotional tone.
You see the script, the characters, and a full proof before anything goes to print.
Whether you’re preserving your own family’s story or honouring a milestone with an act of memory, we turn the materials into a finished heirloom volume.
A private illustrated family memoir, built from interviews, photographs, letters, and memories.
