I am pleased to offer CUSTOM ILLUSTRATIONS for those interested in having a Special Drawing created for an event, loved one, office wall art, or for your own inspirational library.

Custom Requests have included ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS from CONCEPT to COMPLETION and can be structured for a 1-Time use to a full BUYOUT. Or, you are welcome to modify one of my Illustrations and we can add your custom text for an additional fee – in addition to the poster price listed on my website. 

Some of the Custom Assignments have included:

• ‘Anna & the EYES of MARCH’ – created to add to the conversation about Women’s Reproductive Rights, the Equal Pay marches & the “Me, Too” movement.

•Three Hearts – was created for a cardiologist’s office in Santa Monica in 2023.

•’Hillary Clinton’- created as a possible campaign poster but was recently modified with new inspirational text for female leadership.

•’The Water Priestess’ illustration was a custom labeling job for the Boston Clear Water Company.

•’Buddha Una’ – This quote was presented to me by a client, and I found it empowering enough to create a design around it.

•’The Runner’ (renamed ‘Stevie’ on my website) – This was a custom illustration for a client whose daughter is a runner.

• Chuck & Dorothea – a custom illustration which was created as a 63rd Anniversary gift.

•’Karen’ (Tennis) was commissioned by a husband as a birthday present for his wife, Karen, who “Luvs2Ace”.  The drawing was renamed, ‘Suzanne’ and is on my website with the updated text, “Live Life in Full Swing!”

NOTE: This illustration can be customized to include the Cycling Charity of your choice – i.e. Diabetes, Cancer, AIDS, etc. in the Heart area of the drawing.  There is a female version of a Cyclist – search for the character of ‘Parker’ on my website under the POSTER Tab.  Other sports that are available to customize include Men & Women’s Golf – look under ‘Oscar’ and ‘Libby’ (Live Life in Full Swing!)

•’Marius, the Lemonade Boy’ was designed for a very special 9-yr. old who had set up a lemonade stand in my neighborhood back in 2012. Marius has cerebral palsy and his winning smile, enthusiasm, and personality melt my heart!

•’Mr. Lincoln’ – accompanied by a famous Lincoln quote – the 2nd of three commissions from Mike Michalowicz. (See above)

•’The Samurai’ – accompanied by a Sun-Tzu Quote – the 3rd of three commissions from Mike Michalowicz. (See above)

•’The ART of Racquetball’ – for a Tournament Fundraiser in Albuquerque.

NOTE: Every job has its own special needs and a price will be determined by the scope of the proposed job and whether it entails just a brainstorming/consult session, Art & Illustration design only, and what the end product usage will be (non-exclusive use or a full buyout). Tag lines/additional creative writing, product branding, outsourced graphic design, extensive revisions, and the actual production of the illustration after its completion (i.e. paper process used for printing/or just sending the PDF), framing, installation, standard lead time or if the job has a rush status may involve additional costs.

A $500, non-refundable minimum fee will be charged upfront to initiate any design process to be applied towards your project quote – once your free consultation has determined what you are looking to have created.  Thinking, imagining, percolating, and mock-ups require time – some ideas are birthed quickly, and others have their own timeline which is often hard to tamp down.  Sometimes a client will have more ideas for revisions once they see the initial first couple of design passes.

After the initial design has been mocked up and agreed to, additional tweaks, iterations, and modifications can be made based on my hourly design fee of $125/hr.  Prices will be roughly determined based on the specifications of each unique assignment. Prices on Custom Design Assignments are not subject to any discount offered on other products on my website. Sample prices for a single-character illustration (which would include several revisions and two 13×19 copies of the print (non-giclee paper) is approximately $1,250 (Taxes and shipping are additional, if applicable).

Thank you for considering my work. Feel free to call 323.839.0128 to schedule a free 30-minute consultation. All requests are welcome.
