Commissioned Work

I do commissioned paintings of pretty much any subject, family, pets, celebrities, etc. Simply send a high resolution jpeg of the image you would like a painting of. Paintings are created 100% by hand using sumi-e bamboo brushes on high-quality illustration board.

Pricing is based on the amount of subjects in the portrait and the size of the final piece. A "subject" could be a person, an animal, or an object that is the main focus of the piece. For example, a girl with her dog counts for two subjects. Obviously, painting a family of 8 is more complex and difficult than painting one child.

Caps Stanley Cup

Game of Thrones Character Portraits
