One pet, one character; faster and less expensive. More complex artworks (several critters in a portrait, a whole forest or ocean on a wall, layered Photoshop illustrations (tradigital)) take more time and therefore I charge more. Discuss your idea with me, prices are negotiable. I provide all materials. Some examples below...

                                                                                                                                  Winter Forest Guardian

Price varies according to complexity of original and size of print.

A full fledged depiction of the East Codorus Watershed, or Noah's Ark, or the history of the Universe? A bit more... PS: this can be a Learning Experience (participatory class) for the family or kids! You get your (nice new) wall and a digital file (good photos, or video of your crew learning to paint!). Murals can also be portable (on masonite or foamcore).
