Commission a print
If I had a dime for every time someone asked if I would draw "_______" and how much
it would cost, I wouldn't have to do this any more! But since I don't have all those dimes, I need to keep doing this - and at a rate somewhat higher than a dime. :)
Why would you want a commission an original art piece?
| » | To preserve the memory of something or someone you hold dear - before the memories and images fade. |
| » | To honor a friend, lover or coworker. |
| » | To give as a gift, to express you sympathy, or friendship, or love. |
| » | To years later throw darts at should your feelings for the person ever change. |
What it takes to begin
| » | First, I will need a GOOD photo to work from. Several photos are better yet. It is actually best if I can photograph the subject myself. If so, I will require no deposit. But I know that is not always possible. |
| » | $75 deposit. I will work with you on creating a pencil sketch. If for some reason you change your mind or decide you don't want to continue, I keep the $75 and the sketch. |
| » | My open rate is $35/hour. Again, if the photo you give me is good, I may drop that down to $25/hour, as a good photo makes all the difference. Most small pieces can be done in 8 hours or so. Larger, more elaborate pieces can take more - sometimes substantially more. I am very good at quoting in advance how much time I think a particular piece will take.
Your deposit counts toward the hourly rate on the finished print. |
Let's get started
If you are ready to start or you have a photo in mind or you just have a queston,
please e-mail me. Feel free to submit a photo via email - I can take a look
at it and let you know if it would be suitable, and probably give you a realistic quote right on the spot.
Before and After
What follows are pieces I've done in the past, and the
actual photos used to create them.
