Portrait and Fine Art
Services: Fine Art - Web Design - Business Graphics - Photography

If you enjoy what you see looking through some of my artwork, perhaps you should consider commissioning a piece of artwork for yourself. I do commissioned artwork and specialize in portraiture and human figure drawing.

The Medium I use:

I hand draw and paint entirely on my computer with a Wacom tablet and software from ex-Fractal Design Corp.. The tablet is a relative pointing device which mimics most of the characteristics of a real pencil or brush. It measurers position, tilt, bearing, pressure as well as velocity. When I migrated from ink and paper in the early 90's I was able to use the same techniques on my computer that I used in my sketch pad.

The size of the final artwork:

All my art is outputted to the highest quality Giclée standards with sizes up to 53" wide, when using cell-grid placement the size on a finished piece is not restricted!

The Cost:

A lot of factors influence the final cost of a project. Negotiated prices reflect the time involved in developing preliminary sketches and transforming those into the final painting, the type of paper or canvas you choose, the size, all setup fees & proofing charges between myself & my output source. The average cost of a first edition commissioned piece is about $450.00 (not including tax, shipping or insurance).

ADD-Ons...

Matting and Framing:

If you would like me to have the work matted and framed you could typically expect to pay between $90.00 - $300.00 for a professionally displayed piece. Keep in mind framing costs could increase depending on your choice of materials.

My Output sources:

Giclée fine arts prints:
Future Films, 2311 C Street Sacramento, Ca. 95816 (916)444.9577
Custom Framing:
Sutter Creek Gallery, 35 Main Street Sutter Creek, Ca. 95685 (209)267.0228
