HOW IT WORKS
• Tell me what you'd like to have done
• I'll tell you a price and timeframe
• We sign an art commission contract
• I start right away
• I send you the finished product, upon completion
2 bottles, 30"x30", oil on canvas, 2023, (5 months)
The customer requested that I •remove elements, such as covid masks, iPhones and security camera •change bottle label and ensemble to a deep purple •remove original text and add customized text •make it look like "a painting and not a photograph"
1450 Broadway, oil on canvas, 24"x48", 2021 (2 & 1/2 years)
The customer requested that I •paint a picture of his building. It was a daunting task, considering it's epic scale and numerous intricacies. However, I was able to over come these challenges and create a dynamic architectural portrait that is customized to the patron's unique character in no less than a dozen different ways.
Laura's grandparents, color pencil on paper, 18"x24", 2008 (2 months)
The customer requested that I •make it in color •remove the baby •make them hold hands •give the man a dress shirt and tie •make him a little bit taller •give him teeth •make the woman smile
Ganesh, oil on canvas, 24"x30", 2020 (11 months)
The customer requested that I •make it look like it's carved out of ivory. Reconfiguring the aspect ratio to fit on a standard size canvas was quite a mathematical pursuit. Straining my eyes, and creativity, to make sense of the blurry low resolution, was another challenge that I prevailed. Ultimately, bringing my customer this interestingly detailed and pristine powerful image.
