Wandering Ink Portraits

Wandering Ink News: I will not be taking orders for the next few months due to an increased work schedule at my part time job. As much as I'd like to quit and draw full time, there isn't enough demand for such a thing. So until I take care of some financial obligations for my family, I won't be taking orders. Please check back in Spring 2009 when I plan on resuming my portrait business. Please email me with questions. gremlinwrangler at gmail dot com.

custom pencil drawings of your loved ones



I draw portraits in pencil for you using your photos.

You email your picture file and I draw it. It's that easy. I'm more of a sketch artist and can have your drawing ready in less than a week, depending of course on how many drawings are ordered. I am available 2-3 days a week to work on portraits, so during busy times, there may be a waiting period.

The photos you send me make a difference in the end result of your portrait. And most of the time I do best with faces only in the drawing. But I will make exceptions based on the photo.

And here's my fine print:

Even though you pay up front through paypal, I keep it there until I know you are satisfied with the drawing. I want you to be happy with my work. These are your loved ones and I would never ask you to pay for something you don't love!

I will send you a preview via email before I send the original through the mail and when you give the OK, I'll send it. Then barring any mail mishaps, the sale will be final at your OK of the preview. Satisfaction guaranteed.

To order-send me an email at gremlinwrangler (at) gmail (dot) com and let me know if you are interested in

1. single person portrait 11 x 14 --$30
2. two person portrait 11 x 14---$60

I don't usually do more than two per drawing but am willing to consider this on an individual basis. It does make the price go up considerably the more people you add. Contact me for shipping details and any other questions you might have. I accept paypal only and will send you an invoice via email.

Or--
You can visit my Etsy shop for more details.

This is just a sampling of my work. Visit my Flickr page for more.

Alexis

My niece. The next few pictures are not scans, but rather I had to take photos of them in their frames since they were nice and cozy on the walls of my sister's house. If you try to enlarge them, they will blur. But I've always loved these drawings I've done for her the last few years, and wanted to include them here.

I added color to this pencil drawing, not something I usually do. But it turned out nice and I might try it again sometime.

Wow, nice portraits! I'm wondering, if I emailed two pics; with 1 grand child per pic; could you crank one portrait each for a total of two by the end of May? Thanks. -Tom

Note: feel free to email me back direct at: tmbevtfd (at) tampabay(dot)rr(dot)com. Thanks.

Hi, I got your name from Janel. I am looking to get a sketch of our son from Ethiopia who passed away last week. Can you please email me off line at heather_vaz@yahoo.com

It is my sons eyes that penetrated my heart and I really am drawn to the eyes in your pictures. The photos would need a little bit of editing b/c it has his name on it and I'd like to remove that piece of paper.

If I could have it by his memorial service on 7/23 that would be great. We live in NC. Thanks
