Art
How can I contact you?
I prefer email - lmalloyart at gmail dot com. Although I do try to log in to FA. But I've been known to 'step away' for years.
What are your prices?

What is your turn around for commissions?
In the past it was a long time, now that I am only self employed and relying on my ability to crank out art, wait time is significantly shorter! It really depends on my overall work load. Expect a big piece to be done within the month, and a couple days (at most) for sketches.
What will I get when I commission you?
You will get my best effort. You will receive the original drawing/painting. I mail them in cardboard and insured. I haven't heard of any arriving in bad condition. You will have all rights to that art.
What will you NOT draw?
I will NOT draw rape, underage-play, scat, things that I feel are out of my moral-comfort range. I do not mind most adult work, and erotica, or gore. That said, I'm not really a porn for porn's sake kind of artist.
Do you accept trades?
If I am intrigued I will consider it. Keep in mind that art is how I'm paying my bills and buying my food now.
Do you do collaborations?
I am open to the option.
Will you barter?
I WILL barter. But remember- in order to work for both parties it has to be something both folks want/need. I have a list of things I need/want on my computer that I keep around for the holiday and my own goal oriented saving. So if you're curious, just request a copy of that list.
What art training do you have?
If you need a CV request it and I'll email it.
Otherwise
I hold a BA in Drawing and another in Graphic Design from Plymouth State University.
I have worked with small businesses in the past to complete graphics, other art, and magazine layout.
I have completed an apprenticeship with Utopian Tattoo and Body Piercing.
I have had art hung in various galleries, juried and otherwise.
Any tips?
Draw. Draw often. Draw from life. Learn from more than one source/professor/mentor.
Just like buying an expensive carbon bike will not make you a stellar cyclist, buying expensive art tools will not make you draw better. For both these things, putting in the time and training even when you hate the subject material is what achieves the results. Draw and force yourself outside of your comfort zone.
Do you draw humans?
Yes! And quite swell too.
What conventions do you go to?
Currently, none.
Can I use your drawings in a story/reference/art site?
No, maybe, probably not.
Let me further explain- a lot of my art was commissioned from me. Which means I do not hold rights to that work any longer, other than retaining my right to display it. If you want to use my drawing as reference, I can't really stop you, but PLEASE give tags where tags are due to any artist, photographer, etc. Lastly, if I allow folks to post my art on their sites it's difficult to police, so just please don't.
You seem REALLY into biking, hiking.
I am. Growing up I had a small mountain in my backyard to play on. After college I developed a severe back condition, basically Disc Degenerative Disease (it's not actually a disease). For three years my ability to walk deteriorated, constant pain, numbness, and problems balancing. After two years I couldn't walk a mile. After 2 1/2 I couldn't walk more than a few hundred feet. I was admitted to surgery. With a year of healing I was able to increase my fitness again- it was like the starting gun went off and I was out of the sprinters blocks. I haven't looked back. It SCARED the shit out me that I might not be able to hike again, or walk. Running and jumping are out and I have to be careful with how much weight I carry... the stronger I keep my core the less likely I am to end up under the knife again, but my back condition is degenerative- it's only going to worsen over my life, my goal is to slow that down as much as possible. I've already had it re-surge, gone to get a new kind of treatment, and to start over on my fitness. It's a cycle.
Now you know.
