Original portraits, made by hand.

Hello, I'm I.J. Seniff, and I am opening up a limited number of portrait commissions for the holidays.  These are original, handmade works of art, created just for you and the person you're giving them to.  Or just you, if you are getting this for yourself.  No prints.  No mass production.​  Just a real piece of art made by an actual human being: Me!

***Limited slots for Christmas***

​All holiday commissions will be completed and shipped with Christmas delivery in mind. Reach out early to reserve yours.

choose your style:

Ink:

Expressive linework, contrast, and detail.  A more graphic, stripped-down approach that lets the drawing do the talking.

​

Color: 

Watercolor, acrylic, and gouache.  Rich color, layered textures, and a little more room to play.

Pricing*:

Original artwork | Ink | Color

​5 × 7" | $60 | $95

8 × 10"  | $85 | $140

11 × 14"  | $140 | $220

*Prices cover one primary subject and standard U.S. shipping.  Multiple people, more complicated compositions, and larger or more involved requests may require a custom quote.  I'll confirm the price with you before starting.

They can't Instagram, and are of above average height. Shay is an Oregonian who is good with a pencil.  She has experience helping non-profits keep their design sharp, and understands the terrible world of digital marketing. She hates being tagged, and hopes to use her skills for good. artBork was born from their shared core beliefs, disillusionments, and anxieties when it comes to how art is consumed. ​They are married. And adorable.
