Having adhd, the most important thing to me as a commission artist is diversity in commission types. I feel like I’ve seen a lot of talk from the artist community saying that you should focus on one type of art or one style and I’ve always felt that it’s just not for me. I truly feel like it’s part of having adhd and needing variety and newness. Anyone else highly prefer exploring styles, mediums, crafts rather than sticking to one thing? I feel like the diversity allows me to reach more clients than I would usually be able to as well. There’s so many types of art out there and so many different types of people all who appreciate different types of art! Thoughts? 💭

A wedding painting for a few friends. I love a really dark background. It seems to create so much more visual interest

Hi friends! I’m a painter from Jacksonville Fl with a focus on nature forms and domestic spaces. I’ve been a working artist since 2019 and relied heavily on commissions to supplement the work I really want to make. I’m finally starting to phase out of commission work (mostly!) and leaning into my studio work more heavily. Ironically that freedom came from going back to work part time and I’m a lot happier. My focus has been developing a body of work I hope to exhibit in a more formal/public facing space. It’s been fun to change directions :)

My name is Conor, I currently live in Jacksonville, FL. I see a lot of painters here but I’m actually a clothing designer. My current project is called Shorts Archive which focuses exclusively on shorts (as the name suggests). I made this gif of our new reversible shorts today, we call them “Lounge Shorts”. Obviously when selling shorts business slows down during the winter, so this is one of the designs I came up with to maintain interest during the cold months. Let me know what you think!

Hey guys! I’m a SAHM trying to get back into commissions. Previously, my focus was on dog portraits but with my current phase of life as a new mom (whose son finally has a consistent nap schedule lol), I’ve switched gears to draw babies and children.
