Question 1

Why are you called The CelestialPainter?

Accepted Answer

In 2008 I was accidentally struck on the head during a friendly brawl with a roommate. After going to the hospital and receiving stitches on my forehead, I suddenly felt compelled to go to the art store and buy paint and canvas. Within a few days, "Sorting Out Our Differences" was born. The next day, "Lunar Phases" emerged from a canvas. I continued to paint until I ran out of canvas, and then I turned to the walls of my apartment and began to paint murals there as well.

One of my friends, living with me at the time said to me one day, "This is crazy, you are like a Celestial Painter or something. Where did all this come from?" The aunt who owned the house I was now redecorating said to me - "Do something with this, go back to school or something..." That day and the subsequent days that followed, The CelestialPainter was born.

One by one, new art emerged from the traditional canvas, and as the journey progressed and digital tools were introduced the pathway to digital artistry was illuminated.

Question 2

How can I purchase a signed physical copy of an artwork?

Accepted Answer

If you are interested in purchasing a physical copy of one of my works, signed and delivered, please reach out to me via the contact form. Make sure you let me know which artwork(s) you are interested in, and whether you are looking for simple 8x10 unframed pictures, or something more elaborate. I can print to canvas, but only ONE of each artwork is available in the 18x24 or 24x36 size. Once it has been printed at one of these sizes, signed, sealed, and delivered with a certificate of authenticity, then it will not be printed to canvas or poster at those sizes ever again. Only smaller copies will be available. Also, please let me know what country/state/region you are in. Thank you!

Question 3

How can I purchase a digital download for PRINTING?

Accepted Answer

Providing a digital download file that is large enough for a user to print comes with a big cost. Once you have this file, you are also buying my permission to print this file as many times and in as many sizes as you would like for personal or commercial use. You are essentially buying the NFT. Please reach out to me to discuss your project. Personal use one-off printing agreements can be made at a reduced cost but will suffer large penalties for commercial use.

Question 4

Can I turn the digital download I purchased into a meme and share on social media?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BUT... Please make sure you list both my website and Facebook web addresses for artist credits. If I see uncredited artwork, I will have no choice but to report it to the appropriate platform.

Question 5

Are you available for in person shows at my local gallery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I would be interested in doing shows at galleries throughout the world. Please contact me directly to discuss.
