Original art

I do sell my original art. Looking to purchase a specific painting or drawing? Contact me to see if it's available. Alternately, if you are visiting the NYC area, art can be purchased in person from my gallery.

Please include the following information: name or description of piece; what book or deck it was published in. Prices range from $75 for a small pencil drawing to $3,000 for a double page spread oil painting.

Giclée prints

I'm proud to exclusively offer archival quality giclées prints featuring my art. These are true fine art reproductions of my most popular works, some which are already in private collections. All are printed on high quality 100% acid free archival paper, guaranteed for up to 200 years under proper conditions. All are personally inspected and signed by me. It takes a lot of time to make one of these prints -- from image scan, color corrections, proofing, to final print. This time, as well as the costs of proofing stock and ink, are factored into the price for these prints.

Giclée prints use an inkjet printing process to produce fine art large digital images on paper or canvas. The term "giclée" comes from the French verb gicler, meaning "to squirt, to spray." It is used to describe high-resolution, large-format inkjet printer output with fade-resistant pigment-based inks on high quality acid free paper. To ensure the highest color accuracy, these prints are created via via six color reproduction; most publications use only four color reproduction. Like any piece of fine art, giclée prints must be protected from dampness and sunlight and should be framed under glass. They should not be displayed where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or strong fluorescent lighting.

A custom-produced 13x19" giclée prints costs $90. Please allow two weeks for production. To purchase a print, please e-mail your request. Make certain to include the name or description of piece; what book or deck it was published in. Prints are autographed and can be inscribed upon request.

Private commissions

I accept private commissions, if my schedule permits -- most of the time I'm on book deadline. Prices range from $500 for a small watercolor to several thousand dollars for an oil painting. A deposit of 50% is required.

Payment

We accept checks, PayPal, and MasterCard and Visa. If you pay by check, art will not be shipped until payment has cleared.
