Last update: 25 March 2025. I have prints available for most of my artwork. PSA:  I do not mint or sell NFTs, and I do not have plans to do so at this time.  If you see my artwork on any NFT-oriented website, it has been posted without my knowledge or consent. If an individual post here on DeviantArt does not have print information in the Artist's Description, then there are no prints available for that image. Images that do not have sale or print information are usually art trades or private commissions for which no prints were authorized. You are always welcome to ask about an image if you are curious. I make my prints with an Epson P800 Surecolor printer, and I have some left over from my Epson 2200. The ink these printers use is archival, and the photo paper is acid-free. If the prints are kept dry and out of direct sunlight, they will last at least eighty years. My prints are all limited editions, and are numbered in series of either 50 or 150. Each print will be signed and

I really admire your artwork and just watched you. It’d be great if you could visit my profile and watch me too!

Thank you. However. I am not interested in supporting AI generated imagery.

I really love your artwork

"Hello there!"

I set the watch

I should be returning here when I get patient :)
