HOW TO PRICE YOUR ART

Things to consider when pricing art: cost of materials, time it took to complete, sentimental value, fame and education, galleries and commissions.



Enjoy.

Alexandra Ortiz Portfolio: January 2014

Here is a link to my portfolio. I am in the process of unifying all my art and blogs and websites so they are more easily accessible. For now, my portfolio is on a separate site from the blog.

Island of Misfit Toys: YEAH SCIENCE

The Foundry Gallery of Bakersfield had their last member's group art exhibit for December titled Island of Misfit Toys based on the stop-motion animation Roudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Artists were challenged to create something with that theme.

"Yeah, Science"

I watched the animated special again and came up with the idea to paint Breaking Bad characters as if they belonged in the Island of Misfit Toys. I used a combination of Youkon Cornelious and Sam the Snow Man for Walter White and Hermey the (would be dentist) elf as a model for Jesse Pinkman.
