Specialist in black and grey portraits and realism.
Experienced in all styles.
Please be committed to your piece/project, we are pushing the limits everyday and want to work with people who are serious about collecting the art. The mission is to give you that mind blowing wow piece of artwork! Due to this Chris has become very selective with the projects he takes on and we can not guarantee your piece will be selected, we do appreciate each inquiry.
Hours for full days are up to 8 - 10 hrs
Design time is included in appointment time.
We only book one client a day to allow time to make as much progress as possible or complete the piece.
Project/piece size will determine how many days/sessions will be needed for your project.
For example,
*Smaller pieces around a half size to 2/3 piece of printer paper such as a rose, skull and smoke, small portrait will generally be completed in a day.
*Medium projects like a half sleeve may take 2 to 3 days, a full size piece of printer paper to a page and a half. Depending on level of details and the overall canvas size, skin condition, and other variables that come into play.
*Larger projects such as sleeves or back pieces may be 6 to 8 sessions but, are not limited to 8 days with the variables stated above coming into effect.
For medium and large projects we recommend doing 2-3 days in a row to allow more progress.
*Cover ups will generally take longer as they can be much more complex
All projects must be started and completed within 1 calendar year (we usually don't wish to continue projects older than 1-2 years as his techniques grow and can become hard to match older projects)
