Pick your poison

Read something strange, or ask me to draw something stranger.

I write books, make pictures, teach guitar, and take commissions. Have a look around. If you want something made especially for you, tell me what is rattling around in your head.

Featured collection

Five things that escaped the studio

Five originals from the sketchbooks and the studio. If one starts talking to you, buy it before somebody else hears it.

From the studio

Watch the work in motion

Short videos, studio moments, and the stories behind the work.

Have me make one for you

Portraits, paintings, gifts, memorials, and ideas without a proper name

These prices are starting points. Tell me what you have in mind and I will tell you what it takes.

Sketch portrait

$180

One person, drawn in pencil or charcoal, without unnecessary committee meetings.

  • Up to 11 x 14 in
  • One round of changes
  • Send me a clear reference photo
Statement piece

From $850

A larger painting for a wall that is tired of being ignored.

  • We choose the size together
  • I sketch the idea before painting
  • We agree on the deadline up front

How it works

No mystery, except in the picture

01

Tell me the idea

Send the subject, size, mood, deadline, reference photos, and whatever peculiar detail matters.

02

We make a plan

I reply with questions, a price, a timeline, and the deposit needed to get started.

03

I make the thing

You see progress along the way. When it is finished and paid for, the art comes home to you.

Put me to work
