I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon. My parents nurtured and supported my talent, and still do. I graduated from UAF in 2008 with a BFA in painting and drawing, and spent years trying to forget everything school taught me.
Nope. Reagan is my middle name.
Everywhere.
Conversations. Books. Songs. Scenery. And even a bumper sticker once. I try to sketch out my thoughts or write ideas down in order to make room for more.
I "collect" these thoughts and ideas and then fit them together like puzzle pieces.
That's like asking me my favorite color (right now, it's a golden-pea-green). But, Gris Grimly has always been at the top of my list. Jeremy Bastian. Audrey Kawasaki. Kiel Johnson. Erika Sanada. Marc Scheff. Stella Im Hultberg. Graeme Base. Dan Santat... there's alwasy more.
You can find a lot of my favorites by who I follow on Instagram.
Most of my prints are limited editions, so I may be sold out. I am happy to order you a custom print, however! Please email me with the name or description of the piece you're interested in and I'll provide some quotes on various size options.
Yes, please fill out my online inquiry form.
These days my wait list is 6+ months. Please note that I typically do not accept projects of landscapes, personal portraits, pet portraits, custom tattoos, or "paintings from a picture" unless the concept aligns with my artistic integrity.
Regretfully, I no longer accept tattoo commissions.
Do it! This honestly is the highest compliment you can give an artist! Send me pictures and tag me on anything social.
Possibly!
If it's next month, no. I try to book my shows at least 8 months in advance to give me ample time to create a new body of work, or collect a cohesive body of work. I typically book one solo show every year or every other year, but can include a piece or two into group shows.
Coffee & cussing are my only two vices. Sorry/not sorry.
Your logo is not your brand. It is a piece of your brand. It is a useful tool and a symbol for your brand.
Branding is your reputation. It is what your customers are saying about you. It also is what attracts new customers, builds customer loyalty and builds employee engagement. It is the sum of all impressions, and your promise of your company.
Essentially, branding is what builds and grows the business.
Consider what a potential customer might see when doing business with you — building signage, vehicle graphics, employee uniforms, invoices, social media profiles, website, etc. The design of these items should reflect the quality of what you do. If not, there’s a disconnect between what people see and the impression you want to give. It plays an important role in helping to turn potential buyers into loyal customers.
My logos start at $2,500 and go up from there depending on the full scope of the project.
A quote for rebranding a large corporation with a 50+ year history will be different than designing a logo for a new brick-and-mortar shop.
There are some things I need to know before I can send a proposal, including scope and desired deliverables. To start the conversation, fill out my online inquiry form, and we'll jump on a call or set up a meeting to dive in deep.
Typically 4-6 weeks, but that depends on the scope and depth of the project, on the promptness of your feedback, or on the number of people involved in the design direction. The more people on a selection or approval committee, the longer it typically takes.
You will not receive sketches the next day. Design sites that do that, and do it for very little money, are not investing their time in learning your company, and their designs will not meet the goals of your business.
If you have concerns with that at all during the project, I'm always open to a call, text or email. I will also do my best to keep you updated with any delays I encounter.
Design is a two-way process, and your input is vital. You need to be engaged in the design process, responsive in emails requesting information or feedback, and honest in your direction and guidance.
Worry not! It has never been a problem having clients from other locations. We can have phone calls, FaceTime or Zoom meetings, and email is always open.
Just ask. I look forward to hearing from you. hello(at)briannareaganart.com
