Greetings
What is for sale is an art print on 8.5" x 11 " archival paper. The actual printed area will vary based on the dimensions of the original art.
A CUSTOM SIGNED PRINT IS AVAILABLE. Custom crops of the original are available. THE ORIGINAL IS NOT FOR SALE.
The original is an oil on canvas painting by By Dr John WorldPeace JD. It was photographed with a 15 megapixel camera so the print is significantly scalable.
This original painting is 54" x 72".
The price is $2.00 per square inch of the print which includes a 2" border. 54" x 72" x $2 = $7,776. There is no charge for the border area.
These custom prints will be signed and numbered and a record kept for provenance purposes. A provenance will come with the print.
A custom print can be ordered by emailing Dr WorldPeace at DrJohnWorldPeaceJD [!at] gmail.com with your phone number and best times to call.
Custom prints are made one at a time after a down payment of 40%. We do not keep prints in stock but sometimes we have returned prints available. We can speed up the process for a negotiated fee. Half of the deposit is refundable before printing. Nothing after printing.
* I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST a coffee table book of these $80 prints as is shown in the video. We do not offer a WorldPeace Binder at this time for the prints. We are working on it.

Just about everything you want to know about Dr John WorldPeace JD's art is on this website.
The original is museum-quality in execution. The average time in the paintings is about an hour per 16 square inches painted.
I create a sketch of the work of art. Then I will transfer it to canvas and finish all the detail like a paint by numbers. I have apprentices who actually paint the art. I pick the colors. The drawing is 100% by me.
I have been a part-time artist since I was 14 in 1960 but the style of the paintings I sell was not created until 1986. I have refused to paint generic couch art. My art comes from my visions.
You will see that I do not paint the same thing over and over. Every painting will have something unique to all the ones that proceeded it.
The gallery dealers and auctioneers are not interested in my art because it has no recognized genre and never will except WorldPeace Art.
My art can best be generally categorized as a combination of Visionary Art and Outsider Art. "Visionary art as defined for the purposes of the American Visionary Art Museum refers to art produced by self-taught individuals, usually without formal training, whose works arise from an innate personal vision that revels foremost in the creative act itself."
I realize that sometime in the future I will have to sell an original painting in order to set the market for my body of art. This sale will be advertised and a notice sent to those who have added their names to our notice list.
I have no trouble creating art. I have trouble producing it because it is very time consuming. This will change in 2023 as I add apprentices.
In creating my art, the process is the same as my poetry. I have 7500 + poems (90 plus books) at https://drjohnworldpeacejdpoetry.com/
I write about 120 poems a month. I have been writing poetry since 1970 but did not publish or make any attempt to sell my poetry until 2018.
I am an outsider with regard to my poetry the same as my art. I have never allowed my creativity to be skewed by a formal art education. I believe if you are a natural born artist or poet, schooling will taint your vision.
I am open to a private showing of my art for a price. The art is in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Thanks for your consideration.
