Collection: Commission an Original Beartropolis Aerial Flyover Map Painting by RD Riccoboni

Commission Your Own Beartropolis Map

Imagine a city built in the shape of a man — your city, your vision, your story. RD Riccoboni’s iconic Beartropolis Aerial Flyover Map paintings are one of the most original and collectible art forms in contemporary LGBTQ+ art, and now you can commission one created just for you.

Each Beartropolis commission is a fully original, one-of-a-kind painting — a geometric aerial fantasy map rendered in RD’s signature stained-glass style with bold color, intricate detail, and deep personal meaning. Whether it’s a portrait of your community, a celebration of a place you love, or a gift for someone extraordinary, a commissioned Beartropolis is unlike anything else in the world.

How It Works

• Reach out through the store to start a conversation with RD directly
• Share your vision — colors, themes, places, people, or stories you want woven in
• RD will create a unique composition just for you, painted by hand in his Balboa Park studio
• Your finished painting ships directly from the artist, ready to hang and treasure

Commissions are limited — RD takes on a small number of original commissions each year to ensure every piece receives the full attention it deserves.
