$100 oil portraits
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:21 pm
I am going to cut my usual $200-400 cost and offer $100 portraits to all and any who need. I have a couple of thing I need to finish up box and ship (and my bout with food poisoning this weekend was a real kicker)
The portraits will be 1x2 feet on 1/2 inch sanded plywood with 1 inch spacers on the back to set them off the wall. Th edges are painted black so no framing is needed and the edged are of course clean and smooth. These are black and white oil paintings and you can choose just about anyone you wish. I will post some examples of my work.
I do paint just about anything.
If you want something larger or in color (say a tank or airplane) we will have to negotiate a price.
my turnaround on these is very fast as I am the kind of painter that when I start a portrait, I do not like to stop until it is done to avoid the paint drying in an uneven manner (this can happen due to changes in temp, mixture of medium to paint or just plain "WTF happened there?")
You can pick any portrait and even if it is a color one I can take it into photos hop and turn it into grayscale and let yo know if it translates well
Do you have a favorite Pilot, Panzer Ace, Uboat feller or even Political figure you want to hang with your collection?
Maybe even a loved one or favorite celeb or musician? Well I am your man. I guarantee no short cuts, in fact I don't allow shoddy work to leave my studio so even though I am marking these down and you see the phrase quick turnaround, you need not worry about getting anything less than a $200-$400 painting for a $100 price.
My career involves painting fast and I do around 250 portraits a year around 2-5 a week up to 4x4 feet (90% that size), so it is not unusual for them to be done in a extremely quick manner so don't think I am just slapping them on there, it is just how I have learned to paint out of necessity.
If you desire a portrait that has more than 1 person I will have to get a look at it and remember to go easy on the backgrounds..no stained glass cathedrals ok?
I can start as soon as you send a picture of what you would like and we agree to go ahead.
All I ask is that you also allow me $8 for shipping. I would like to do at least 1 a day for the next 2 week if possible, just as soon as I take care of packing these tanks I sold and get some custom paint jobs done that need wrapping up. I need to get rent in order due to a slow work month so if you want a nice solid wood portrait like the ones pictured below, hell if you want more than one...I'm your guy. Let's do this thing!
Here are some examples: bear in mind some examples are here to show my ability and are not indicative of the same size or style of surface (like jagged edges ...unless you want that).
obviously this is a large image uh... a tad bit more than $100, just using it for the image of Pz commander on top

These images below all have examples of my black and white portrait work, a piece this big is worth a tad bit more than $100, but just focus on the black and white image for more ideas as to what I am offering
