I make my art out of either high density fiber board or plywood.

I hand draw all of my designs, and then either cut them out on a scroll saw, or digitize them and use a laser cutter. Every piece has a hand made frame, and the layers are supported by individually built hidden superstructures that I make before I paint anything.

It really depends on the piece. If I am making a batch set that are all getting the same or almost all the same colors, then I probably average about 3-5 hours each. On the other end of the spectrum are single edition pieces like Devils Tower which I put around 100 hours into.

I generally use high quality Sherwin-Williams or Ben Moore flat finish wall paint.

I use a standard wall paint spray gun. This gives my artwork its pristine smooth finish. I do a lot of paint mixing, and let me tell you; it is a dark art.

I take a very environmentally friendly approach to reducing paint in our water. Acrylic paint is plastic, and any paint that goes down the drain introduces microplastics into our waterways. I use rinse and settling buckets instead of just rinsing directly into a sink. This process reduces the amount of microplastics going down the drain by over 95%.

Absolutely. My goal is to capture a scene as exact as possible to real life. I have used my own photographs, friends/families/clients photographs, and public domain NPS photographs.

The best methods for cleaning my artwork are using compressed air to dust it off, or "tack cloth" which can be found in the paint section of most hardware stores.

It depends. If it is not very deep, you can use a magic eraser to blend the paint around it. If it is a standard piece, I can ship you an exact or very close paint sample to repair it.

Not really. I use flat finish paint because a) I like the look, and b) because you can repair scuffs and scratches without leaving a blotch. Most of my existing pieces are painted with enamel cabinet style paint and are satin finish.
