Purchase Art

Available Artwork

Artwork that is available for purchase (both in the case of originals and prints) will be indicated as such on the piece's page as well as being listed on the Available Artwork page.

Requesting Artwork

Inquiries as to artwork availability or purchase should be made through the Artwork Request form. All available originals and prints will have a link on their pages that will prefill portions of the request form for you.

Commissions

Commissions of just about any sort are welcome. I do everything from con-badges to pet portraiture and am willing to attempt just about any mammal (the exception being homo sapiens).

Commission prices are figured by cost of supplies, postage and packaging, and time spent on sketch, transfer, and completion.

Please note that I don't do violent or sexually explicit artwork. I don't enjoy doing it and I'm not very good at it, but there are plenty of folks out there who are.

Prints

Prints are only offered of digital works

All print sizes are listed on the print's individual page. All are Canon inkjet prints on photo paper, though I am willing to explore professional printing processes if interest is shown.

Prints are priced by size, estimated ink/paper costs, and shipping.

All prints are hand signed at time of printing. Prints are ONLY sold through this site. If you purchase a print of my artwork from elsewhere (with the exception of This Little Piggy which is available on deviantArt), you should know that you are paying a crook and none of the proceeds come to me.

Originals

Original art is priced by cost of supplies and time spent on the artwork.

Please note that not all artwork showcased on this site is available for purchase.

Shipping

Small artwork and prints are shipped flat. Because my large pieces are done on a cotton-based paper, they can be shipped in a poster tube without being damaged, and I'm of the opinion that this is the safest way to ship them.

Large pieces can also be shipped flat, but this is incredibly difficult and I cannot gaurantee that the piece will get to you undamaged--I've had too many cases of art paper being shipped to me layered between multiple pieces of cardboard and still damaged to trust flat shipping for the most part.

Canvass pieces are shipped flat.

All shipments are tracked and the tracking number given to the buyer. I strongly encourage anyone making a purchase of over $100 to request shipping insurance.

Pricing

My pricing method is fairly simple: I work by the hour. The price you see listed by an original piece represents between $5 and $10 an hour, plus supplies.

Estimates are given on commissions at the time of request and based on similar pieces already completed. Commissioner gets two rounds of approval: one to the sketch and one to the completed piece--additional rounds of approval, up to a maximum of four total rounds, will add to the price an amount proportional to changes requested. Commissions involving original characters (in other words, pieces that I couldn't hope to sell to anyone else) require a deposit of half the estimate amount, payable after completion of the sketch, but before transfer (con-badges are the exception to this--you pay for those upon completion, no deposit).

All shipping costs are paid by the buyer.

Payment Methods

Currently I can only accept personal checks and money orders.

Why not Paypal? I'm a bit of a luddite*, and giving an on line company access to my bank account frankly scares the bejeebers out of me. At some point in the future, assuming that interest is high enough, I may look into a proper credit card processor of the type used by bussinesses and colleges.

*Strange, I'll admit, considering that I make my living as a web programmer.
