In 2022 and 2023 I started offering small cheap paintings that would take about an hour--no prep, no stakes; quick and dirty, easy-peezy.

In practice, I was putting in a little more time and effort than a single hour (see examples), so in 2024 I'm charging more. You will receive a semi-rough, semi-polished painting completed in one or two or three painting sessions. You can make some suggestions about the subject of the piece but everything else about it will be a surprise.

Medium: oil paint!

Material: sturdy 1/8" thick masonite panel with a little notch in back so you can hang it without needing a frame (or you could frame it, either/or). Sometimes I paint on canvas, but you will most likely be getting a work on panel (I like the smoother texture).

Size: The panels I use come in 4" x 4", 5" x 5", 6" x 6", 5" x 7", 8" x 8", 8" x 10", 10" x 10", 12" x 12", 6" x 12", 9" x 12", 11" x 14", 10" x 20" and 16" x 20." So it will be one of those sizes. I decide the scale based on what makes the best sense for the concept, i.e. if something is funnier as a tiny square it will be a tiny square, and if it needs to be big it will be big.

Subject matter: Star Trek! You can pick a favorite series/era from the pull-down, or leave it totally up to me. If you have specific preferences or dislikes ("No Tom Paris, please" or "I absolutely MUST have a portrait of the Duras sisters") you can put those in the 'notes' section when you check out.

Delivery: Anywhere from one to six months depending on my current workload. In 2022 I took too many orders and got behind in delivering them, so this time I am limiting myself to only a handful of commissions at once and opening news slots as they become available (so if this listing says 'SOLD OUT' you can check back later). I will do my best to notify you if there are unanticipated delays.
