CARICATURES
On top you can see the final art and the photo from which I worked. This was an acrylic painting on board
(I use 1/4 inch Masonite or birch wood: 16 x 20" or maybe a size up). When using board, I attach a few blocks of wood to the back so it stands out 3/4 inch from the wall and doesn't need a frame, though it can be framed if you want. The bottom ones are on paper or cardboard, often with watercolor, maybe some colored pencil. Sometimes I scan the piece in and add some digital effects. Dialogue bubbles can make for some extra comedic spice. These are usually made to regular sizes like 8 x 10" or 11 x 14" which makes it easy for the client to slip it right in to a matte and/or frame himself.
Charlie Hall's ROAST & TOAST!
A multi-media special presentation for anyone having a birthday, retiring, or any celebration. It
includes a framed customized caricature (this one a Mighty Mouse take-off with special family photos included). Plus a 35 to 45 min. "This Is Your Life"-type roast written and performed by Charlie Hall based on material & stories supplied by friends and family (Above: part of one roast included a fake magazine- I often use my Photoshop prowess to ramp up the laughs).
Cost $200 art + $500 roast for this always hysterical one-of-a-kind presentation: total approx. $700 (but like all of the projects on this page, final prices can be fluid depending on what the client wants).
PET PORTRAITS
You supply the photos, we'll talk about the best ones to use, and I will do an acrylic painting on a stretched canvas or board. Both can easily be framed. Approx. $200 to $300 per painting. A 2nd or 3rd pet in the same painting will add to the price.
WALL MURALS
Can be done on any wall. Acrylic paint. The first is a whole family, along with their hobbies/passions, painted in their dining room. The other pieces displayed are customized to whatever the client wanted...such as certain fictitious entities, or some other creatures added in- all based
info provided. Price to be negotiated based on various factors.
SERIOUS PIECES
The first piece displayed here is an 8 x 10 watercolor for a young student who was taken too early by a drunk driver. The second is a black and white SCHOLAR/ATHLETE piece that many like to get for their kids or grand kids based on their accomplishments at high school or college. Price approx. $175 for black and white, more for color. (I can also matte/frame them for an extra $25 or so).
PAINTINGS....Various paintings I've done on commission for various clients. Various sizes, mediums, and prices.
