Inquiries
I'm pleased to consider commission work, and invite you to contact
me with your questions and ideas.
Portraits are a favourite subject, but I'm certainly open to other
possibilities. Basically, any well-lit photo can be turned into
a mosaic.
Editing
Digital photos can be colour-corrected, cropped, and scaled up
to any dimension of final art.
Minimum dimensions for a mosaic are 8" x 10".
Detailing is an important part of each piece: For portraits, I
strive to include areas of fine tile and glass work -- especially
around eyes, mouth, and hair -- which are crucial to capturing likeness.
I aim for a sense of balance between regions of detail and broadness.
I try to create a kind of "liquid pixelation" in the tiling
-- I paint with glass and arrange my grout-lines to capture the
flow and movement of my subject.
When you inquire, please send along whatever photo(s) you're considering,
and indicate the size of the final artwork that fits your budget.
I'll get back to you in a day or so with some initial thoughts regarding
suggestions for a composition and colour scheme that is best suited
my mosaic practice. If you say "Go" -- we'll sign a contract
and get the ball rolling.
Pricing
I charge a standard price of $10
per square inch, regardless of materials used, or
