Commissioning Artwork I do not have time for free art requests. Please don't ask.   Private Commissioners - Prices depend upon size, complexity and time spent. Please see example to the left, or email for further details.   For Publication - Situational, illustrative cover art or spots for publication are negotiable and prices will vary by project. Please email your terms for further details.   A Few Guidelines I will draw almost anything you'd like, with a few exceptions: Artistic nudity is fine, but I will not draw pornographic or suggestive imagery. I will not draw images that are racist or offensive in any way. I am confident in my abilities using pencil, colored pencil, and digital art programs (Photoshop 8). I have used many other mediums over the years, but I'm most comfortable and have immediate access to these supplies. If and until I become proficient in others, these are the only mediums in which I offer commissions. Please look at the examples of my work in the galleries on this website. Aquaint yourself with the styles and typical subject matter I draw. I am willing to work with your ideas, but there are limits to what I am capable of. My strong points lie in animals, people and natural scenery, in realistic or whimsical "story-book" styles. Machinery, cityscapes, anime or heavily comic style art is probably best commissioned elsewhere (see my links, there are many great artists there that may well be better suited for these types of art). I will do portraits of people (such as family members) or pets (any kinds!), but I need to be supplied with at least three good quality photographs for reference. In these cases, the more references you can supply me, the more accurate your portrait will be. I will do celebrity portraits from existing pictures or from scratch using several references, provided your request does not ask for suggestive nudity or explicit situations. Please understand, I have no moral problems with nudity or eroticism in art. I simply believe those in the public eye have a right to a bit of privacy. I'd also prefer that in the event they ever see my work, they respect me for my talents as much as I respect them for theirs. High-quality archival prints are available for the majority of art you see on this site. The only exception is commissioned work, which belongs to the person who commissioned the piece. Prices are as follows: 5 x 7 (or approximate) - $5 8 x 10 (or approximate) - $10 11x 14 (or approximate) - $25 Please note that these sizes are approximate, as some pieces are odd sized. Prints can also be made on museum quality textured fine art paper for an additional $5.   Shipping and Handling is $5 for the first two, or $9 for the largest within the US, or $12 and $18 respectively to Europe (other countries please ask for a quote). This will get you USPS Priority Mail, shipped flat between cardboard/foamboard.     Payment I accept paypal, checks, or money orders. Please do not send cash. When considering a commission, please remember that the estimates do not include shipping costs.   Contact If you have read all the information above and are interested in commissioning artwork from me, drop a line at:   sandelwood(at)speakeasy(dot)net
