How to purchase:

Send me an email with the name of the piece that you like at the following address and I'll get back to you quickly with anything you'd like to know, including framing, price, and shipping: aporia@brainmade.com
(Like most people in the digital age, I check my email compulsively. I'm glad I don't have a blackberry or an iphone or I'd be doomed, haha)

Framing:

I build my own frames, and usually use a floating frame, where the edge of the painting is visible. The plywood surface of my paintings gives them a unique texture and I prefer to show the artwork as a whole piece. (I will post some photos of pieces in their frames here soon.) If you prefer to find your own frame for a piece, let me know and I can always remove the frame that it's currently in.

Pricing:

I generally price my paintings by their size and try to keep them as reasonable as possible:

• Mini-paintings (eg. 5" x 6") are usually between $100 and $135.
• Small paintings: somewhere between mini and medium. LOL
• Medium sized paintings (generally 14" x 18" to 18" x 24") usually end up around $500, so for example a 16" x 20" would usually be around $600.
• Larger paintings: a 24" x 30" would probably be about $1200 and a 36" x 48" might be $2800.

Commissions:

I do paint commissions. I'll work with you to develop an idea and a design that we both feel really good about, usually by sending you sketches and drawings by email. I won't go past this stage until we're both happy: I prefer to have happy customers and I do much better work if I'm excited about the project.

Once we've agreed that the design is something that we both really want to see become a reality, I'll require a 1/3 non-refundable deposit and then I'll begin work on the piece. I'll keep you up to date with the progress, and send you a good quality photo once it's done. When the paint's dry enough for shipping and I've received the final payment, it'll be on it's way!

Shipping:

I can ship to anywhere in North America, and potentially to other parts of the world as well. My paintings are done on plywood and are therefore quite durable and hold up to shipping very well. I normally add a small shipping fee to cover my costs on to the total price, but I can only determine that fee at the time of order since it depends so much on the size and destination of the painting.
