Commissioned Works

 

I enjoy collaborating with a client to create comissioned works in a variety of formats. Some are an idea or a concept, fleshed out and made real. Others are portraits of favorite pets, or personal totems manifested as 3 dimensional sculpture.

A few things need to be considered if you wish to commission a sculpture of your dog(s).

  Portraits of specific dogs (and some other pets) can be sculptred in many different poses and modes, including the VW door wall sculptures.
  • These are one-of-a-kind originals.  Prices will vary due to the many different sizes, poses, hair treatments, "additions", and other factors that may require extra time.  Since it is difficult to know the exact price ahead of time, a price range will be given.  The final price will fall within that range;  if not, client will be contacted prior to completion.

 

  • SEND GOOD PICTURES!  The artist can only capture what the pictures show.  Front and side views to show all angles and markings are very helpful - otherwise the artist will have to guess!  Make certain the colorings of the animals in the photos are CONSISTENT.  Different light conditions, different cameras, and the different film develiping can make significant differences in how the color of the animal looks.  The color shown in the phots will be the color in the sculpture.

 

  • Art is not an exact science;  while there is a high degree of accuracy in capturing the essence and look of the animal, these are portraits meant to capture an impression, and arae not intended ot have a look of exact duplication.

 

  • Time frames run 3-5 months on the average, depending on the complexity of the piece, and how busy the artist is at the time.  Special orders for special deadlines (birthday, etc.) will be accommodated, if at all possible.
