Commissions

Why buy a portrait for $1,000* from some independent schlub? Because you are not a soulless algorithm (yet)

You could blow more money for less on a bunch of things:

  • A trip to Dubai for the one perfect instagram shot that gets you 12 more likes.

  • A subscription to the latest non alcoholic health drink trend you forget to cancel after you realize you had more fun being a drunkard.

  • A soul-draining “fine art” print of Popeye, Marylin Monroe, and the Wu-Tang symbol.

Or you could commission a portrait. Of you. Of your kid. Of a pot of flowers. Of a landscape.

Want a piece of your favorite lamp?  Fuck it, who am I to judge?

I’m classically trained. Which means I know what I’m doing, and I probably have opinions about Caravaggio.  But I’m not here to lecture you about chiaroscuro.


I’ve spent two decades years developing a style that incorporates my academic training with my street art days.  You want to save the planet!? Well, I use pervasive advertisements taken from the streets of New York as my base for the recycled paper I use to create each new piece.

Galleries are middlemen with white walls and existential dread.  You will deal with me directly.


Yes it’s not cheap. You’re commissioning a one of a kind piece of art, not ordering a latte. 

Why art galleries suck (and you know they do)

Let’s face it.  I’m jaded. I tick all of the wrong boxes. And if the right gallery came along I’d kick my soap box right into my high-horse. 

BUT! We must call a spade a spade.

Galleries are white cubes full of cold stares, tepid wine, and overpriced silence.

The art? Half of it is a rich kid’s therapy session stapled to a wall. 
The other half?  Untouchable. Unless your name’s on a board at MoMA or you summer in Sardinia.

Galleries don’t sell art.  They sell access.  They gatekeep. They ego-fluff. They turn raw creative work into speculative real estate for bored collectors and finance bros.


They speak… In bullshit… Riddles:
“This piece explores absence”
Yeah. So does my fucking bank account.

Meanwhile, the actual artists, the ones with calluses and chaos and talent? They get 50%, if they’re lucky, and maybe a sad write up in a zine no one reads.


*My art ranges in price depending on size and subject.  But you’re looking closer to $1000 than you are $100. All reference photos for all works are taken by me in the studio or on location.  I do not make art from crap polaroids or facebook photos.
