commissioned work

inquiring about having a commissioned piece done - looking for something surreal or abstract. Not interested in traditional portrait. How does one go about finding these types of artists?

ADDENDUM: related to this request, this is for a live event (my wedding) on Friday, September 19, 2008 as a surprise for my fiance. The event runs from 7/7:30 to midnight on Long Island (Nassau County). I'll also provide dinner as I would for any vendor, if you will. While doing my due diligence I've been drawn to abstract and surreal artists but welcome all genres. The piece will be displayed in my apartment (Brooklyn). An ideal size would be around 36"x26". While I do have a budget, I'm sure each artist's cost will vary.

If you are interested, please upload samples to the forum discussion that are representative of your work.

If you can provide a general description of what you're looking for here, I'll announce it to the community and publish a blog post about it. Feel free to contact directly too at anthony at brooklynartproject.com

Best,

Thanks for responding to my post. Are you on the east coast (i.e. New York)? I'm seeking an artist for a live event (my wedding) in the NY metropolitan area.; ▶ Reply to This

I work abstractly and whimsy/edgey, not dark. Please refer to my FINE ART AMERICA page for a good review of my work. when i went to upload here it just spun forever and my files were small.
