Sale of Products

Shipping and handling costs are based on $10.00 per hour of the labour of handling, plus expenses and taxes.

Animation Digital Video Discs ( DVD's )

are available for $20.00 each including taxes, but not including shipping and handling. This price of $20.00 merely covers the cost of the labour of replicating the DVD, and in no way reflects the amount of work put into creating the animation.

DVD's may be ordered to include all or any portion of my animation and production video.

Pamphlets ( HESUS JOY CHRIST Discussion, or Drawing Bee drawing instruction )

may be purchased for $5.00 each, including taxes, plus postage. Again, this price merely covers the cost of the labour of replicating the pamphlet and in no way reflects the amount of work put into creating the writing or images of the pamphlet.

Watercolour Paintings and Drawings

are available based on $20.00 per hour of labour, including skilled labour, plus expenses, taxes, and shipping and handling labour. This means a painting that was completed within three hours would nominally be sold, without a mat or frame, for $80.00 plus shipping and handling, and tax.

Custom Labour

Watercolour Paintings and Drawings

may be created either on site or from photographs provided and again, are available based on $20.00 per hour of labour, including skilled labour, plus expenses including transportation, taxes, and shipping and handling labour. This means a painting that was completed within three hours would nominally be sold, without a mat or frame, for $80.00 plus shipping and handling, transportation if any, and tax.

Pencil and Pencil Crayon Portraits

may be created either from a sitting model, or from photographs provided and again, are available based on $20.00 per hour of labour, including skilled labour, plus expenses including transportation, taxes, and shipping and handling labour. This means a drawing that was completed within three hours would nominally be sold, without a mat or frame, for $80.00 plus shipping and handling, transportation if any, and tax. A simple line drawing portrait takes about fifteen minutes to produce from a live model. Don't worry – I do NOT do caricatures !

Portrait Drawing at Your Event !!!

I am available to draw portraits at your event, for $10.00 per hour, plus transportation, but including taxes. It takes about fifteen minutes to create a pencil drawing, with some shading in areas such as the hair of the subject, from a sitting subject. You would need to provide a small table and three chairs and we're all set !! Don't worry – I do NOT do caricatures !!

Contract Labour

Custom Animation Service

Whether a commercial spot or novel addition to your video or website, I am available to provide animation for your soundtrack, similar to the animation throughout this website, with deliverables in the form of an AVI file, again for the rate of $10.00 per hour plus expenses and tax.

Generally, I budget ten minutes per drawing, amounting to 6 drawings per hour, and this includes any layout, multiple levels of drawing in the animated image, scanning, and colouring, as well as final processing to create youranimation.avi !!

Keep in mind that there are generally twelve drawings per second, 30 seconds in a commercial, amounting to 360 “drawings” for a 30 second spot. Three hundred and sixty drawings, at six drawings per hour works out to 60 hours or roughly three weeks, with your budget nominally about $ 600.00 plus expenses and taxes. Expenses may run to about $120.00, and taxes on $ 720.00 at 13% are $ 94.~ . Roughly $ 1000.00 would definitely cover everything.

If that seems oppressive, keep in mind that a cycle, such as Tina's Yellow Bike, was only twelve drawings, repeated over and over, so it only required a budget of $ 20.00 plus expenses ( there were none, other than 12 sheets of paper ), and taxes. Try to guess how many drawings are in A Car Chase for Brian 2 The idea is that, as in the HESUS JOY CHRIST animation, there are many ways to economise to bring your animation in within your budget.

The important thing is to contact me and we can work out something that suits your budget. Talk is cheap, so let's talk. I love to work on other peoples ideas to bring them to life !! Please review my sample contract, timeline and budget on the Animation Contract page, and then contact me for clarification and to address your specific needs.

Landscape and Architectural Illustration

Creating flyers for landscape designers was a lot of fun. Just coming up with an illustration based on a landscape design and images of the architecture was very refreshing. Visit the Technical Illustration page of this website for examples of what I am capable of producing.
