To further enhance the artwork for the client, I can incorporate their own portrait into the finished design. Making the piece even that much more special and unique.

Artwork will be completed and ready for delivery within 4-6 weeks from date of order confirmation.
Standard pricing begins at $200, which includes an 8" x 10" fine art giclée print ready for you to frame.

Hands of Time
I just completed my newest piece Hands of Time. I took a little inspiration from the Groove Armada song of the same name. Though, I've had the idea for this piece for some time now, I've been a little busy recently. I love the feel of this piece, as it goes back to my more Mindscape style of artwork. It is available for purchase on the website HERE.
Oh and here's a link to the song on YouTube.

Imagination Call for Entries
Smithtown Township Arts Council seeks entries for Imagination exhibition at the Mills Pond House Gallery, July 2-August 5, 2011. Open to local and national artists. Featuring art that ignites our curiosity, and delights our senses encouraging us to take some time away from the world as we know it and enjoy the creative power of Imagination! Entry fee. Prospectus on the web or send SASE to: STAC Imagination, 660 Route 25A, St James NY 11780 OR 631-862-6575 OR http://www.stacarts.org/exhibits OR exhibits@stacarts.org
Exhibit Information
Deadline: May 18, 2011
Start: Jul 02, 2011
End: Aug 05, 2011
Reception: Jul 02, 2011 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Dreams, humor, fantasy, creativity are pursuits that keep the human spirit alive. Imagination makes possible our thinking about what is, what has been, and, perhaps most important, what might be. Imagination inspires us to create governments, build cities, and develop technology. It drives us to paint a pink elephant with wings or a city that rests on the clouds. When we are free to do whatever we want, we retreat to the imagination—to worlds created by others in books, movies, video games or to worlds we ourselves create. We are looking for art that ignites our curiosity, and delights our senses encouraging us to take some time away from the world as we know it and enjoy the creative power of Imagination!
