Whether purely creative licence, delivering a message, or creating a specific piece for a client, I typically build on a foundation of extensive research and reference gathering, careful subject study for accuracy (depending on desired outcome), expansive visualization, and a series of conceptual sketches. I will revisualize and rework component angle, placement, lighting, and other aspects until I am happy (though as a perfectionist I could keep an art piece going indefinitely, if I'm being perfectly honest with myself). For commissioned pieces, I engage in thorough upfront consultation and on-going discussions throughout. Often, there is a massive amount of detail work (why do I do that to myself?!). Then come the final, essential touches to really set the piece off!

For files and prints beyond the originals, this is followed by either a methodical session of photographing the art (sometimes multiple to get it just right) or scanning, post-processing with extreme care and attention to detail to match the original art as closely as possible, and the generation of a series of file types for different uses.

Here's the thing--I want the art to have an impact and I want the acquiring individuals to be happy with and enjoy each piece for years to come.
