For those looking to buy or commission original artwork, it can be difficult and overwhelming to sift through the static, noise and hype. In the twenty-first century, no guild system exists to govern the trade and maintain high standards, so for better or worse, the democratization of art-making has introduced us to work ranging from poor to excellent. The criteria for discerning artistic quality can be hard to sort: Is investment potential more important than aesthetic merit? Does “vogue” equal “value”?
Thankfully, if you look in the right places, you can still find those who value craftsmanship over capitalism, and who would prefer to broaden their skill set rather than amass followers.
Since 2006, I have been consistently producing original artwork by hand in graphite and India ink, executing my own visions, realizing clients’ ideas, and even collaborating on a graphic novel along the way. This vocation has always been my passion and pleasure, and my love for it drives me to keep persevering and perfecting year after year as passing fads come and go. By using only archival materials and avoiding trends, I provide pieces to the public that will stand the test of time. I have great respect and gratitude for my clients, and strive to continually go above and beyond their expectations. So, are you searching for a meaningful statement piece, or envisioning a personal custom commission that can be passed down to future generations?
