Hello !     I'm a freelance artist.

Uh, Right, you say.    What the heck does THAT mean ?
Well according to the dictionary a "free lance" was a mercenary warrior, basically a guy with a lance, who was for hire.
Well, me and my pen are for hire.
So, whether you're looking for the perfect art to use on your web site, illustrations for your current book or have a glorious painting in mind for your home, then please read on ! 

About me

I live and work in a great little place called Yankeetown on the banks of the Withlacoochie river, north of Crystal River,  Florida.

Where is your Gallery?


I get asked that a lot.  Oh you're an artist?  Where's your gallery ?

I don't  keep a traditional visitation gallery because that requires a physical presence at very fixed hours -- and I usually work at all sorts of different times, frequently in the quiet time when most other people around are asleep.  

Not for me.  

But who knows.  Make my stuff popular enough and I'll get someone to hang it full time somewhere.

What do you do?

I never settled upon a single medium, like painting, or carving.   Who wants to do the same old thing all the time?

I have been an active artist all my life, so, I carve wood, both in the round and in relief.  I do calligraphy, graphic design, cartooning,  I paint in oil, acrylic, watercolor and electrons. 

I trained early on as a draftsman and illustrator.  I spent  several years in the historic restoration of a classic 1927 hotel where I made hundreds of architectural detail drawings & artist renderings for the designs of the interiors, landscaping and structurals.

I can REALLY have you do my art ?

I'm always tickled when a prospective client realizes what I can do for them and that I really am affordable.  They get so excited !

It's such a cool thing to be able to HAVE art.  

It is something that is unique and completely done for you alone.  

Surprisingly, most people I talk with have a consideration that they can't afford to hire an artist !  So it  never occurs to them that they could own art themselves.

But just think:  What physical things really could have a more positive effect upon your personal attidudes and feelings in life than art ??

Your project

Imagine actually having the idea you have brought into being.  Having it created just for you.



It's worth checking out

I'm probably one of the more unique artists you'll find because of my wide variety of media and experience.  Some projects use several at once, drawing from my background in building and restorations, photography and  drafting.  Some involve a feel for classic proportion, colors and calligraphy.



Thanks for visiting


I hope you enjoy what you find here and I'd love to  hear from you -- what did you like ?  What would you like to see more of.

Wishing you all the best,

Raoul

What's this going to cost ?

That depends mostly upon the type of work it is and how big a project.   But I'm certain you'll be surprised to find I'm quite affordable. 

Got a project in mind?  Call me up.  Tell me your ideas and ask me questions.

Tell me about your ideas and ask me questions.    That's the best way to find out and decide how to start.

I truly enjoy talking to people about their projects, so the best way to get a quote  is to just call me.   Go to my CONTACT page above and call me or email me.

Why am I so affordable ?

Because I love my job.  It's that simple.

I enjoy doing this so much that I'd still be doing this even if it didn't pay anything.  It's just what I do.  

And I like people.  I like to help people and to contribute.  

What my clients say -


“ The things I've seen, be it only a few, are very well done and attract interest and attention. They make you feel good about being attracted to what it is they are promoting. This is quite a talent. “   J.B.

“ Man you are really good! I had no idea you had that talent.  The quality of your work inspires one to wanting it. “   H.E.

“ Just wanted to let you know that the Mom LOVED the drawing you did of the stork in the boxing ring!! Loved it, loved it, loved it!  “          JKW

 " The LinkedIn   "3 attributes"  limitation doesn't work for Raoul because he excels in all those categories.  This excellence springs from his prime attribute—eagerness to please the customer, esthetically and technically.

He provided many renditions and versions of our customer's logo at no charge  as the project evolved, whereas other artists often charge for too many versions.

Raoul's design ideas followed the customer's guidelines and incorporated others'  ideas as requested, but he executed them with a freshness we hadn't expected.

He provided an abundance of final graphic files at no extra charge, whereas other artists often want to charge extra for that service. And then he included printer and customer instructions, just in case.

I'd work with Raoul again in an instant."      JVG
