# About me

I'm an artist, I guess. Actually, most of the time I'm a graduate student, pursuing my doctorate in Sociology. I have a lot of fun with it. But I also can't seem to stay away from art, and it's been taking up more and more of my time.
I'm also a husband, a son, a brother, a friend to humans and animals, a music-lover, a beard enthusiast, and an all-purpose nerd.
I like other people. Feel free to strike up a conversation sometime.

You're an inspiration. I've only been drawing celtic themed pics and knots for a year and after seeing your gallery it makes want to go harder.

Your welcome for the watch :) (Smile) I'm in the market for a Celtic quarter sleeve incorporating the Valknut, the the Aetts, Odin's ravens and wolves and Yggdrasil. I was thinking of having the wolves under the branches with the ravens and Valknut in the branches and the Aetts around the Valknut. How much do you think that would cost

one-rook In reply to shaka1993 [2015-02-06 18:05:48 +0000 UTC]

Hard to say. Depending on the level of detail, necessary revisions, color, etc., I'd normally charge somewhere between $120-220 (USD) for something like that.

Your light box tutorial is just what I've been looking for. I'm right near the end of finishing my basement (at my age I'm not sure why). The main room has 2 small windows. My original idea was to try to purchase 2 old stained glass windows and mount them just in front of each window. Problem is, the cost of old stained glass windows is very high. Also I live in northern Alberta Canada. In the winter we get very limited late day sun, it's dark by 5:00 which wouldn't show the stained glass very well. In the summer we're outside until bed because that is when there is light until late combined with nice weather. When I saw your tutorial I realized I could construct my own whatever, install it into the window well and voila all problems solved . The second benefit/thank you is from my wife. She really didn't want me taking up learning to do stained glass which would further cut into our time together (she wasn't keen when I asked if she wanted to). So you have now saved me time money and kept harmony in my marriage. What more can I ask! Thank you.

Hi.

I'm planning to re-launch a feature on my blog (www.hivennn.blogspot.com- soon to be hivenn.co.uk) and i'd love for you to be involved! (since April 1st '11 I've received 10.2 million hits). It's a behind the scenes look at artists, from their sketchbook/journal.

[link]
A link to one of the older posts so you can tell what it'll be like.

I'd need 5-8 original sized photos of different pages of your sketchbook/journal by the end of next month.

I see you've got a commissions folder in your gallery, but I can't seem to locate commission info. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction? :) (Smile)

one-rook In reply to AzizrianDaoXrak [2013-02-27 15:40:39 +0000 UTC]

Greetings! I don't have commission information written down anywhere (which seems kind of stupid of me, in retrospect). Generally, the best way to commission me for a piece of art or jewelry is just to send me a note describing what it is you're looking for, with as much (or as little) detail as you want me to have. I may have some follow-up questions, depending on the description you provide.

As far as pricing goes, it totally depends on the scope of what you have in mind, but I tend to charge very cheaply, and I'm usually open to negotiation.

Shoot me a note if you're interested in commissioning something!

Cheers!

-R.

I confess I do not do a great deal of Celtic these days, concentrating on the painting and drawing but have been figuring I should do some more at some time. There is more of it on my web site though [link] if you want to see more the link takes you to the Celtic gallery page.
