I am asked quite frequently if I do commission pieces of art.
Yes, I do. However, because I have a full time job, my time is limited so I have to pick and choose the pieces I think I can squeeze in between my work and the artwork I generate.
I put a lot of detail in my drawings so I work from photographs. Typically, these are photos that either Angela or I have taken. Occassionally, I have completed a piece by using a friend's photograph.
For many of my drawings, I will use several different photographs. For commission pieces, I must have several different photos of the subject/subjects they want me to draw so I will have different perspectives. Once I look over the photos and speak more with the potential client, I will then make a decision as to whether or not I can complete the drawing in the time line they have given me.
In the last couple of months, I have been approached several times about commissions
to be given for Christmas gifts. Time is running out. If you are thinking about hiring me or any other artist to create a drawing for you to give as a Christmas gift, please keep in mind that it takes time to create a piece of artwork.
