Getting Drawn – You, Illustrated

As part of raising money for Free Arts NYC and running the Tough Guy Race in January, I’m offering my artistic services for anyone who donates over $35.

- 35$ or more gets you one head and shoulders portrait, with a simple background.

- 50$ or more gets you two head and shoulder portraits, OR one full body portrait, again, with a simple background.

If you’ve ever wanted your own avatar for facebook or just wanted a cool illustration that you can print out and frame, this is a really great way to help a cause and have a trained artist do some work on the cheap.

I went to school for animation, and I can can handle lots of different visual styles. If you want a black and white line drawing like the New Yorker, I can do it.  If you want me to draw you as a Disney character, easy.  If you want a straight interpretation of a photo, no problem.  Basically if you can think of it, I can do it.  (I knew this art degree would be good for something).

Here are some variations on portraits I’ve done for family and friends in the past.  Also, it doesn’t have to be for you… a personal illustration makes a great gift (especially for people with kids).  And because the art is done as vector art, it can be resized as big as you want without losing quality (you could literally print a six foot tall poster).

Above: Self portrait based on a photo. As you can see I have a smaller version of this on the first page, but I was able to blow this up for this post.  There are no size restrictions if you wanted to go even bigger.

Above: Group of friends based on several pictures. This would fall under the $50 category.  They wanted South Park, and that’s what they got.  With a little twist.

If you’d like to get a portrait commissioned, there are two options:

- 35$ or more gets you one head and shoulders portrait, with a simple background.

- 50$ or more gets you two head and shoulder portraits, OR one full body portrait, again, with a simple background.
