Welcome. I gladly make art available for licensing and publication with partners that share similar interests for mutual benefit.

Since web formatting does not always display well on various devices, you can view my most recent portfolio as a PDF (click here) or see a sampling to introduce you to some of my work in black and white below.

To see colorful work, please visit the main art portfolio instead. High resolution images without watermarks are available for all of the art on this page after negotiation that results in signed contracts. All rights belong to me, the artist, and may only be used with written permission for specific purposes (work on this page has not been previously published in any magazines or books unless noted otherwise). Please contact me if you’d like to see more of a particular type. Thank You!

If you’ve seen a particular piece shared on social media or a print on demand site that interests you, most of them can be made available for licensing or publication. I am willing to consider exclusive rights and remove images from print on demand sites in certain situations.

You can also see more of my work through the originals and prints that are listed in my shop. I enjoy working with different supplies in various styles including illustrative pieces, more painterly pieces, abstract, collage, and mixed media combinations. Please let me know if you have a specific color palette, size, shape, subject matter, or theme in mind. That makes it much easier for us to work together when I have so many pieces.

If you do not already have my contact information, please use the contact form to get in touch. This helps reduce spam. However, sometimes it may route something to spam that I would prefer to see. If you don’t hear back from me promptly, please follow-up or try contacting me through direct messaging. Please specify if you are interested in a particular piece. Thank You.

Well Wishes,

Jules
