Prints

Some of you have expressed interest in purchasing prints, and just so you know I haven't forgotten you. Things have been very busy lately, as I have been working very hard on getting the Salt Lake Temple done and making an inventory of what temples I have available. On a bright note, Salt Lake is almost done. It is an extremely detailed temple!


I am also preparing to get started on the Las Vegas Temple. Stefanie is very excited about that because Las Vegas is the temple where we were married.


The prints I have are giclees. Basically that means they are the best quality print available. Exact replicas. Oddly enough, graphite, the median I draw in, is the hardest to replicate. The prints are available to friends and family for $45. I have some prints that are professionally framed that I will sell for $70. Considering the cost of professional framing, that's a great deal!


Sorry its taken me a bit to get on this! You can always email me at:

Thanks for Your Votes


I wanted to thank everyone for your votes and input. It was very insightful to see everyone's opionions. The application to Italy was a little more involved since they required actual slides or photographs of my drawings. As it turns out, some of the photographs printed funny. They were fine when I submitted them to the photo place, but somehow a few of them ended up being cropped funny when I got back the final product. Because of that there were a couple pictures I wanted to include that I couldn't. I ended up sending in Drawings 1, 2, 3, 5, and a different arm print which I did't put up on the blog. I wanted to submit drawing 4, but the bottom of the hand was cut off.


The application deadline for Italy is May 1st, and I should know within 2 weeks of that date if I get in. We are so excited about my acceptance to New York, but still want to see if I get into Italy. We are currently looking at how to finance our studies, either in Italy or New York and with just that in mind New York looks a lot more practical.

Still don't know

I received an email from the GCA in New York. The evaluation process is taking a little longer than they expected. I guess that is good and bad. I still don't know if I got in, but at least it wasn't a rejection letter. They say I should hear back from them before next Friday. Keep your fingers crossed. I will be sending out my portfolio for Italy tomorrow.

Thanks for Looking!
