Alchemy is Etsy's system for requesting custom items. A buyer describes the item they would like and the seller responds with the details of the item they can create. Read about how Alchemy works in our Alchemy Overview.
Most of my work begins with the flash of a new idea or burning question; I rarely work by request ... but I have before and I'm also very curious; What would you have me do??? :) If you have an idea for something you'd like to see, a project you'd like to work on together, or a certain material you'd like made into the type of art you see in either of my 2 shops, just convo me to talk about it; we'll see if we can work out details. I'll let you know honestly if I feel I'm the right person for the job. If the concept is yours, then you own the copyright of the final work. In addition to normal payment, I'd like permissions to use images in blogs & portfolio web locations, possibly some reproduction rights if agreed. Let's talk!
I'm very fond of creating photomanipulation digital paintings, and will consider all portrait projects. I can have the image printed and/or create an image file disk.
I will also consider creating PET PORTRAITS using the method above, and also dry media such as Prismacolor pencils, graphite or conte' drawing or soft pastel painting. I've done many quality, affordable, pet portraits using these methods. I'm currently working on an image gallery to show examples. Prior subjects include cats, dogs of all breeds, snakes, birds, and even a pet spider! I enjoy exotic animals and have studied rare species at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, (behind the scenes), and first hand with Ringling Bros. Circus animals.
