Browse around and check out samples of my art! It normally takes me 2 hours for a portrait (3 if it involves a detailed background).

The year is 2014! Where are the hover boards and moon bases? Quirky Distractions had a good run, but it was well past due for a revamp and makeover. Miss all the old stuff? It’s still there in the archives. Here’s the scoop on what’s new and where to find things, but first, let me introduce myself for the newcomers. I’ve been writing since I was fourteen…Never mind that I started out with fan fiction involving The Flood story, Noah, and aliens. I suppose I’ve always had an inclination for sci-fi and the odder things in life--we all start from somewhere. I have been told that I was quirky and creative even in preschool. Apparently I drew all the time. I don’t remember it, but I do remember going to my Gram and Pop’s when I was in grade school. After playing grocery store and telephone games with Gram’s many purses and spare rotary phones (grocery store was SRS BSNS!), my sister and I would sit up at Gram’s counter and draw. I remember drawing princesses and designing pretty dres...

Can I place an order if all open slots are full? Yes. Your order will take the first available slot, and I will not ask for payment until that slot opens up. Why do you only offer 2 commissions per month? Since I’m just starting out, I need to figure out a baseline for myself. I’d hate to offer too many at one time and find that I can’t do it. Once I get a good grasp on what I can handle, I might increase it. Something suddenly came up, and I need a drawing done ASAP! Can you bump me to the top of the list and do the drawing by next week? I will not put another client’s piece on hold; however, if the price is right, I will spend a few sleepless nights working on yours and the other client’s at the same time. What if I want a pencil drawing, but I only want a digital copy of it? You will not be charged S & H, so if I spend 4 hours on it, the total will be $40. What if I want a colored digital version of the pencil drawing I ordered? No problem! The digital version will...
