Ordering Information    Commissions        About my Art

 

ORDERING INFO

1. Where can I buy your prints?

Prints of my art can no longer be purchased through this site but occasionally, I will list prints for auction on Ebay. Please view “Ebay” on the main menu. My member ID on Ebay is Jenga713 and I have 100% feedback rating, so bid with confidence. I will also be listing prints regularly on Etsy here.

2. What sizes are available?

Should I decide to make prints of a particular painting, the size print available would be determined by the size of the original piece. (Some paintings are an odd size) Typically though,  most of my prints would be available in 3 sizes; 2.5x3.5,  4x6 and 8.5x11.  Should you desire a different size, please email me at jenga@aGothicFantasy.com to inquire.

 

COMMISSION INFO

These are the terms for my commissions. However, check the home page to find whether or not commissions are open at the moment. Like everyone else, I have a busy life and regrettably, am not always available to concentrate on a piece as much as a commission would require. 

I frequently accept commissions for portraits and custom paintings and would be happy to consider painting a picture for you. Please note that I am a fantasy artist and that a majority of my work consists primarily of gothic and fantasy themes, so any commission you request should fall into one of these two categories. You should probably look through my artwork to have a better understanding for my particular style. If, after perusing my art, you feel that I can accomplish what you would like to have painted, please email me with your request. I have the right to refuse a commission for ANY reason I deem fit. I may have a waiting list, so you should email me for inquiries about time estimates.

Should you decide to commission me,  I require 50% of the commission up front, so that I might buy the materials needed to create the piece and as a security deposit. If you need the commission by a certain date, please make your request at least 3 months in advance. Also, an email address will be imperative, as I will be contacting you for approval through this means as the work progresses. Approval will be needed for the final product. Once completed, the additional 50% of the commission price, plus,  insurance (if desired), will be required before shipment.

Prices are as follows:

Acrylic on Canvas Sheet                                                   

9x12 ……………$200

This is a basic pricelist for acrylic on an unstretched flat canvas sheet. If you would prefer the painting to be on stretched canvas, the price may be  higher due to  material costs. Please contact me for further information on stretched canvas prices. 

 

ABOUT MY ART

1. What mediums do you work with?

I work primarily with acrylics, but I will occasionally dabble in oils when the urge strikes me.

2. What type of canvas do you use?

For the most part I work on Fredrix cotton canvas sheets, however, I will occasionally use watercolor paper, masonite, etc…..

3.  Some of your paintings express a lot of pain, why do you do this? are you okay?

Am I okay??? Hahahaha, many would say that I most definitely am not, and I am no hurry to disagree! LOL

 Like many artists I tend to release emotions through my work. I think this is an integral part of being an artist. Pain is a part of life, and this is how I DEAL. When emotions can easily be identified by the viewer, it makes art more interesting. Every viewer has his or her own unique experience of  life. Thus, making their experience of art unique as well. I think that if you can make your viewer feel your work, then that is a great measure of success.

4. Why do you use yourself in your art?

Hey, everyone wants to be a goddess or a vampire or even an angel now and then. This is MY fantasy land, and if I wish to be a goddess, I say, “Why not?”  don't like it? Too bad!!! Plus, it helps that I can take my own reference photos and don’t have to acquire a model. Am I vain? Hardly! But if I have a hankering to see myself with perfect pantene hair and red eyes then so be it, I'm gonna paint it! 

5. Do you sign all of your paintings?

Yes, I sign all of them both on the front and the back.

6. Where can I buy your original paintings?

My original paintings can be purchased through this website, just look through my “originals” section on the menu. I also offer quite a bit of work through Ebay. 

7. Do you have any other galleries on the internet?

I have internet galleries at  ArtWanted Elfwood , Epilogue, SheezyArt  and Deviant Art. I occasionally blog  at  http://jengaart.livejournal.com/profile feel free to add me if you are into art.
