Hand Art Custom Illustrative work.
I enjoy creating custom illustrations for clients because of their deep appreciation of the artwork, whether the illustration is for personal or professional reasons. Coming from a very diverse background I have the flexibility and the ability to use my creativity and imagination with almost any subject matter. I like to communicate with my clients forming a professional, one on one relationship built on trust and teamwork. As a perfectionist, I pay close attention to detail so the proper information is transformed onto the paper, collaborating throughout the entire process regarding theme, concept, size and art mediums. It is important to point out, that in creating custom artwork, clients receive exactly what they want; the original artwork on Strathmore smooth Bristol board paper. Pricing is budget conscious.

Custom hand art illustrated greeting cards designed for Christmas, special holidays and for all occasions. The reproduction process is done on excellent paper stock as a high resolution Giclee print from my original illustration. Depending on size and the illustration prices start at $2.50 to $4.00 per card including the envelope. Keep in mind, to be cost effective the cards must follow the standard size chart. A-2 envelope: 4¼ x 5½ card size A-6 envelope: 4½ x 6¼ card size A-7 envelope: 5 x 7 card size A-8 envelope: 5¼ x 8 card size There are no standard quantities for sets of cards. Some cards can be sold individually; some in packs of 3, 5, 8, or 10. If ordering in quantities over 100, the price per card remains the same until you get to 250. Then there are further price breaks etc. Shipping & handling costs are not included.

Custom Framing is optional. Keeping in mind a budget plan, if a client wishes to go forward with the framing process this includes:
Dry mounting, this process is essential because it seals and protects the illustration from long term future distortion.
Single matting is less expensive, double matting looks more professional and gives the illustration depth, a little more expensive.
The frame.
Shinny, non glare glass or plexiglass. Plexiglass is typically used for shipping purposes.
Plexiglass looks the same as non glare glass and it's less expensive. It will not crack or break during the shipping process. Looks very professional!
The pricing of Framed Artwork varies. It starts at $350.00 including the original illustration. Depending on all the factors involved, pricing is worked out between the client and the artist.
If a customer wishes to only purchase high resolution prints on archival matte paper from any of the Series, with the exception of cards, it will be shipped in professional tubing already included in the price.
If a customer decides to frame anyone of the high resolution Giclee print illustrations offered on my website from any of the Series, the set price listed stands however there will be a discount built into the framing process due to the fact it is a print and not the original artwork.
Shipping & handling costs are not included. Shipping costs vary from state to state in the US and for other countries.
