FAQ

​When buying pictures on my site are they originals or copies?

• There is a little drop down bar by the drawing which will give you options when you are trying to buy the drawing. Most of my originals have been commissions, but I do have a decent amount of originals around on the site if you look! But if the price is below $300 it is a print.

​​

What do the different print options mean?

• Fine Art Prints and Posters are the absolute highest quality I can produce. The paper is just like what I draw on, and the printing is top of the line so this is the closest I can get to replicating my original drawing quality.

• Print, Small Print, and Standard Posters are solid quality, but they are meant to be the more affordable options.

​​​

Do you ship worldwide?

• Yes! Sometimes shipping can take just a few days but it can also be closer to a month depending on your country. The shipping price you pay just covers the cost of shipping and supplies, and you will be responsible for whatever import fee/additional taxing it takes to get into your country. 

​

What currency are your prices in?

• USD and all sizes are in inches.​

​

Can you draw me or someone I know for free?

• No

​

What is your standard commission price?

• They depend a lot on the project! My standard commission size and price is 18x24" and that size typically costs between $4,000-6,000. Prices vary by size and difficulty of the reference.

Can you send me the digital file?

• No. Basically it is just because I’d prefer not to have people printing/possibly selling my art that is not me. Lots of potential for things to go bad quickly so as of now I am not selling anything digitally like that. I would add that I am working on starting to do NFTs so keep your eyes peeled for my first drop!

Any tips to get better at art?

• I always just say that the best teacher is time. Just draw every day. Even if its awful for a while, slowly you will get better and better. I’ve drawn almost every day for around 5 years now and it is crazy looking back now!

• Another little thing would be try and learn how to see better. That might sound kind of vague, but seeing is really the biggest key. Look for contrast, look for details around you, see what makes things unique. Eventually that will be able to translate into you art. Hope that helps!

Can you draw me and my siblings/children/wife/family members on a picture?

• Sorry but no. Whenever I’ve drawn multiple people on one piece it just does not turn out as well as I’d like it to. Especially with the name style, I don’t want to spend several hours getting one of the drawings right, just to mess up somewhere in the next piece. 

Will you do art for a shoutout?

• No

Can you draw me in the name style?

• There is a possibility, but the odds are low. At this time I only draw public figures in the name style until further notice. Until the day I can get a new bionic wrist this will be in effect haha!

What sizes do you do your drawings?

• The smallest I will go on a single piece is 14x17"  for my typical starting size. My standard size is 18x24” and so far 40x50” is the largest size I have drawn. 

How many likes for a free drawing?

• 82,000,000,000

What supplies do you use?

• I get my pens from Micron and Arteza, and then I love Strathmore paper. Otherwise most of the supplies that I pick up are pretty basic. Whatever mechanical pencil I have lying around, maybe a couple types of charcoal stumps, pretty cheap paint. Art is supposed to be something that you create into the world. Supplies are a factor, but they are a pretty small one in my opinion. 

Any tips as an artist starting off?

• Start posting now! You’ll figure it out along the way, but how is anyone going to find your art if its just in a sketchbook next to your bed? 

• Also, please finish that drawing you've been working on. One of the biggest things I see with artists starting off is a sketchbook of 1,000,000 or so 90% done drawings. Learn to close the door on a drawing and trust me, your confidence will grow.

• Lastly, to try other methods. I started off with pencil, moved to charcoal, went to pen scribble drawings, to pointillism, and now I do these word mosaics. You never really know where you’re going to find your niche. It is a big world and it is so fun to try new styles of art. There is an odd joy about trying a new method for the first time and being terrible but knowing there is potential.
