Collector FAQs
Do you take commissions?
Yes, you can commission my work right here.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, paper originals and prints ship worldwide. Stretched canvas can only ship within the United States and Canada at this time.
Can I get your artwork tattooed?
It depends on the piece. Some of my work is not well-suited for tattooing. I accept tips via square. Please send me an email if you have a specific piece in mind.
Can you design my tattoo?
When the stars align, I take commissions for tattoo design. If you have a tattoo artist who is happy to work closely from another artist’s line work, then please reach out here to commission me.
Artwork FAQs
What is a block print?
A block print is made by carving into wood or linoleum, applying ink to the printing surface and stamping the image onto a support surface like paper or fabric. Block printing is a relief printing technique that originates in antiquity.
What kind of knives do you use to carve blocks?
I use a set of six carving knives made by E. C. Lyons, and the 2mm u-gauge found here on eBay.
What kind of ink do you use to print?
I use big tubs of Blick block printing ink. When that’s not available, Speedball block printing ink works a charm.
Do you have a press?
I don’t have a press. I do all my burnishing by hand. My favorite hand burnishing tools are wooden spoons with various depths and a simple baren.
How do you treat your papers?
Montana Gold spray paints, purple artist tape, a face mask, and a lot of ground space (covered with a tarp).
Shipping and Returns
How soon will I receive my print and/or painting after purchase?
Typically 1-2 weeks, depending on your location and potential shipping delays or customs clearance.
How do you package your work?
All work comes packed in a protective sleeve with cardboard backing in a rigid, flat-pack mailer. Extra large works are packed with additional cushion and support. All original works are packed flat.
What is your return policy?
