Question 1

How long does each piece take?

Accepted Answer

It varies depending on size, the more densely packed or complicated pieces take 40+ hours.

Question 2

What pens do you use?

Accepted Answer

Pigma micron pens. Some pieces I use an archival Uni-ball ballpoint pen.

Question 3

What paper do you use?

Accepted Answer

Strathmore Mixed Medium.

Question 4

Have you ever done a tattoo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I've done several smaller ones on skin after about two hundred hours on fake skin. It is a craft I respect enough not to take as a side gig however, so I do not currently pursue it. However, I do plan on offering tattoo stencils for your local artist to use.

Question 5

Are your originals truly one of a kind?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every original is hand-drawn, or hand painted, and exists as a single unique piece. Once it sells it's marked as sold and will never be recreated as an original. As an artist I take pride in making unique work, while some may look similar they are entirely different when examined closely.

Question 6

Do you ship originals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All original artwork ships fully insured and flat-packed in rigid protective packaging, covered by Matt Derbidge at no extra cost to you.
