ORDER IN 4 EASY STEPS:

1. CONTACT ME: You may send me a note, or better yet, email me your thoughts on your Portrait. I am very open to getting you the work or art that you are envisioning. I'll need to know your chosen medium, size, and some general notes on your ideas. As I work on your Portrait, I will email you images of my progress. I encourage comments and suggestions on these to help me better create the Portrait you want.

2. SEND ME YOUR PHOTOS: E-mail me your digital images or mail me your pictures (you may send an email requesting the mailing address). Feel free to include more than one photo! I can work off a few to compose one composition.
**NOTE: The quality of your photos directly affects the quality of the finished Portrait. HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS WITH NO FLASH WORK BEST (Flash washes out much-needed shadows that create depth in the artwork). However, I am understanding of special circumstances. Please ask if you have any questions about your photos.

3. PAYMENT: Paypal (no paypal account required! I will email you an invoice and you can pay by credit card on your home computer.) A 20% down payment is required before I get started on the work.

4. YOU RECEIVE: In the mail a finished Pencil or Charcoal Portrait after final payment. Please allow 2 or more weeks for the finished product (especially around Holidays! Turnaround rate is determined by the complexity of your portrait as well as how much work I have on my plate at once).

                            ARTISTS STATEMENT

    I am interested in capturing MOMENTS. GLIMPSES OF PERSONALITY on paper. From life changing events to simple interactions between friends, these little visual reminders help bring a smile to one's face and make the day that much brighter.

    This is what has brought me to the wonderful business of Portraiture. Everyone has a hundred personal moments worth remembering:

    -The beautiful kiss on your wedding day.
    -When Bobby learned to tie his shoes.
    -Or even that time you and your friends had a jelly
      doughnut fight in the car.

    Sometimes a simple polaroid just won't do the trick. This is where an 'Artistic License' comes to play. The artists hand and sensitivity can pick up on the important parts of a scene and bring them forward, adding the right emphasis to the moment. And let's face it, a Hand-Drawn Portrait is a piece of art that lasts a lifetime.

                        QUICK PORTRAIT IDEAS

--A COUPLES PORTRAIT is a great way to celebrate a loving relationship. Can I say unforgettable Anniversary gift? Or Birthday? Or Just Because!

--KID PORTRAITS capture a youthful personality that can be treasured long after they've grown up. These are especially hilarious when they're caught doing something they're not supposed to be doing. "Who tracked mud all over the living room floor?" or "What are you doing in the washing machine?" Great for Mothers Day or Christmas!

--THE QUICK FIX: Everyone has one of those photos where they say "Look at how great everyone looks in this picture... but just look at that goofy face I'm making! What was I thinking!" In a Portrait, I can easily fix this. Just send me the original photo + a photo of you(or whoever) in a similar position and lighting! The Portrait will help you remember the event the way you would like to.

--In a COMMEMORATIVE PORTRAIT, we remember the Life of someone who is no longer with us in a piece of art that is everlasting.
