Wow! You paint?
Yeah!!
Since when?
I went to art school back in the day but around January of this year, and under the muse and mentorship of Steven Hammel, I got into doing paint by numbers kits, both modern (yuk) and vintage (yay) kits I’d buy on eBay. Then, I started collaging them, distorting them, and finally, once my love of heavy body gloss finish acrylic paint was cemented, I started making my own original work on wood slabs and on small canvases.
Cool!
I know. It keeps me off my phone and I like having a little easel on my lap when I’m loafing on the couch, half-watching something.
How do you decide what to paint?
I paint things I’m passionate about or remember fondly from my pop culture and junk food-blessed childhood.
How do you decide what to charge?
Size, time spent, materials (wood block versus canvas) and how much I don’t want to part with a piece all play into my figuring out the material value of each one of a kind piece.
I saw a painting you did on Instagram; why can’t I find it for sale on the site?
Some of the stuff I posted I learned later that I didn’t have the heart to part with! So I’ll make prints of those pieces and sell them here and on my Instagram page. Stay tuned.
A painting I like got snapped up before I had a chance to. Will you be selling prints of one of kind pieces that are no longer available?
Yes! Watch this space. I’m figuring it out right….now.
Do you take commissions?
Probably not just because I don’t to disappoint somebody with a painting of a dog that doesn’t completely look like their dog, but listen, anything is possible. Email me a pitch and a price and I’ll let you know if I can swing it!
What do I do if I have an issue? Like if my order doesn’t arrive or if it arrives in busted condition?
Email me and I’ll try to make it right. Thank you in advance for your patience as I figure all of this stuff out.
