Note: If I know a bit about know your personality, I can capture you better. I'll be asking some questions when I email you after your deposit. Remember, the painting will be unique to you and may not be identical in style to any of the pieces above. If you decide not to continue with the project, the $45 start fee will not be refunded - this covers a bit of my time and cost of materials. As with all of my paintings, I will retain © copyright and reproducton rights to the image of your painting and I reserve right to publish it online, in print and in collections of my work.

here are some examples:

"Lee" is a music professor, composer and a great jazz and classical keyboard player who also dabbles in accordion (needless to say, Lee is a goofball). So, I created this unique image for him. Your Profile Photo Treatment will be unique to your personality and interests.

"Jake" is a writer and video producer - his company name is Three Volts. Incorporated into this image are an old television monitor with a test pattern, a QWERTY keyboard layout, a schematic of circuitry, and a watermark of the 3V logo - which are all a nod to his profession and business.

"Jana" is a jazz singer. She's very photogenic and has some great shots. But even if your photo is pretty good to begin with, I can make it even better. By removing blemishes, shadows, background objects, softening the skin tones, playing with colors, etc.. And/or a montage created with the fixed image.

Another musician, Scott Bravo. Again, not a bad photo, but a little tweeking turns it into album cover-quality that makes for a killer Profile Photo.
