About

Hello,

This is an art project. I plan on creating at least 2,000 portraits over the course of the next few months. This is not an easy task, so your patience will be needed. I am going to try and finish 2,000 portraits by July of 2015. In the event that this project becomes larger than expected, and I have more than 2,000 inquiries, the time of delivery will be a bit longer for those signing up after 2,000. Here are some details about the project/how to sign up:

- Pay $1 to have a black and white portrait made using any picture you send me with one face in it ( I can also do a pet or baby portrait, as long as there is only one subject in the photo! ). I will use Faber-Castell markers/pens to create your drawing by hand on a high grade 9 x 12 inch paper. When I complete your drawing, I will send you a high quality digital copy.

- Pay $3 to have a full colored portrait using any picture you send me with up to two faces in it. Same digital delivery rules apply as listed above.

- Pay $10 to have your art shipped to you anywhere in the world.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I will open a website where I will host all 2,000 portraits ( including more if I have more inquiries ) for the public to see. The website name will be updated in the future as I have yet to create it. All digital copies of your portrait will be both sent to you via email or message, and uploaded to the website.

Below are some pieces I made showcasing the styles you can expect.

An example of the art style used in colored portraits. This is a tribute to an online game called TagPro.

A nice landscape I painted, this is just showcasing my other styles. I will not use any paints in portrait orders.

Another tribute to TagPro. This same style will be used on all color portraits.

Special shout out to my friends over at www.tagpro.gg and www.reddit.com/r/tagpro for inspiring me to go about doing this project.

A little bit about me:

I am a college student studying biology, pre-med, and biomedical engineering at NJIT. I play college level D2 ice hockey. I've been drawing ever since middle school, and have progressively gotten better. I'm good at playing guitar, and a few other instruments. I'm also a fantasy author working on a long novel.

Why am I doing this?

I have two main reasons for doing such a ridiculous project.

1. I want to improve my art skills by forcing myself to work on as many different types of faces as possible, and this is one of the best ways.

2. I would like to have money on the side to spend on more art materials such as acrylic paints, canvases, brushes, new mediums etc.
