Contact Information and Request Requirements

Sat Sep 5, 2009, 7:31 AM
If your visiting my page and like my stuff I do take request. I can paint whatever you want either it be a photo of something or an idea you have. For a request I require a small down payment for supplies. A Price will be determined by the canvas size and the idea/photo you want done.

You can contact me at Culen20@aol.com or through this site.
My family owns a business if you need to reach me you can call (330) 758-0400 Ask for Ricky if i am not leave your number and name so i can get back to you.

I am 22 i am self taught my interest in drawing started when i was 13 i guess school was so boring i figured this would be the best way to get through. I watched a lot of anime and that was my style of art for awhile. till i hit high school i got tired of the anime style and wanted something more from art i began sketching people around me and learning how to draw things in a more realistic way. it was kinda difficult to get away from the anime style so my drawing would often have giant eyes and check mark noses. I have done many many drawings for people it was a lot of fun and great practice. after high school i was doing alot of acrylic art i loved acrylic but i just wasn't quite happy with how the paint flowed. then i tried Oil paints and i was very pleased with the results

it a slang from the 70's like gnarly that i had hijack from my friend who says it a lot because i got tired of using cool,nice, and awesome all the time because it might make the artist feel like you just commiting for the hell of it and you don't really mean it and you're welcome.

Pricing your own art can be a bit tricky. When someone asks for a painting from me i usually ask what size canvas and what i am painting. You need to know your own speed a educated guess at how long it will take you. this was hard for me too do but i got better at it over time. I like too get a small down payment on the project before i begin i think it adds a bit of trust too the whole deal and helps you afford supplies. Now i work at 15$ a hour some people work at cheaper rates its up to you, so lets say it takes me 4 hours too complete the painting 60.00 plus supplies. Now i like to keep things high, the way i see it is if something is high in value then there is a good chance the person will take care of the painting and that is how i feel about my art but that is my opinion. as your painting/drawing keep in mind the time and figure out your own hourly wage.

Before i figured out how too price things i sometimes would simply tell the person too pay me in whatever they wanted too sometimes they would pay me more then i had anticipated =D puts the pressure on them.. hope that helps

i asked what he thought was fair and he said he doesnt know and my friend said start high at 50 $ then they will usually say i can only give you this much.... so yeah but what do you think of my artwork is it worth that much? i don't know i spent 2hrs on the one wolf picture so far and am doing one other wolf also a backround even some computer images so i think 50$ sounds good but what do you think?
he is using it for a debut album he is selling with his band.

You have that Anime style goin on i used to draw that stuff a lot back when i was in High school. You remind me of how i used to think back then, when i was clueless about the quality of my art i am still a bit clueless today to me my whole gallery is priceless lol...Some of your artworks are masterpieces you have the potential to create amazing stuff. But my opinion does not matter much the important thing is this Person likes YOUR art he must like your style and creative side. its hard to tell if 50$ is good i would need to know more information about how your going about painting this size/supplies/time. maybe post a pic on your site so i can see how its coming =D.

From past experiences I have done some artwork for some bands and ill tell these musicians are always looking to get things cheap but then again these bands were just some kids playing around... If this band is serious and feels your art will help them then they will certainly pay the price
