Please do not direct link to anything on this site. Bandwidth theft is just plain rude, not to mention illegal. lt will also make my ISP very unhappy.

What medium do you use?

For the paintings I usually use acrylics.  I like the fast drying time. Another thing I like is their versatility. They can be diluted to achieve a watercolor effect or thickened to a buttery consistency similar to oils. I do some pen and ink projects, and once in a great while I'll do a 3D piece.  I also do mixed media pieces and they truly are mixed.  The last one I did was acrylic, colored pencil, graphite and pen and ink.

How long does it take you to produce a painting?

It really depends on the painting.  Some will almost paint themselves.  I think the quickest I've ever completed a large painting is ten hours.  The longest time I've taken between start to finish is about twelve years... and counting. It's in the closet and I really am still thinking about it.

Do you take commissions?

I don't usually take commissions. Unless something really catches my fancy I'll pass.  If my heart isn't in it then it's pure drudgery and I don't do my best work that way.  However, if you'd like to commission something we can certainly talk about it. You never know. If it's something that isn't quite my cup of tea then I'll happily refer you to one of the many other artists I know who can probably  give you just what you are looking for.

Do you sell your originals?

Yes I do.  Many cons will have an original for sale. Some will have several of them. Feel free to e-mail me about any piece you see studies for and are interested in.

Where can I buy prints of your work?

I have signed and numbered, limited edition prints available. You can also visit the conventions I have listed on the Calendar page.  I usually have prints and/or  originals for sale with a low minimum bid.

Why did I see a print at a convention priced less than it is on your web page?

Prints at conventions have lower minimum bids to encourage bidding. Sometimes a buyer will get a bargain and sometimes they'll pay more.  It averages out to the price I charge when you buy directly from me.  I try to give people some incentive to attend the art show and bid.  Besides, when you buy at the show it helps out the convention and they can continue to offer you wonderful art by many artists in the future.
