What kind of art would I ask for?
The intent is for you to have an original work by fine art humorist Jeff Leedy with the subject matter being someone in your family. It could be a brother, husband, sister, mom, uncle or even your dog or cat. It could be for a birthday, Christmas, an anniversary, retirement or any reason you might have. And it would be suitable for hanging at home or in the office.

What do I need to get it started?
A. jpegs of the intended person.
B. Tell me all about your family member so I get to know them well enough to be funny about them.
1 page of funny stories about the intended subject.
C. A deposit of 50%- check or credit card or invoice.
How will we work together?
After I receive the above 3 things, I will submit a sketch or 2 in B&W for your approval and discussion within 1 week.
That's where we negotiate what's actually in the final painting.
I don't start the finished artwork until you have approved these B&W sketches-
that way you know exactly what is going to be in the painting.

"ERIC, THE BIRD DOG MAN"
"I decided to give my bird hunting husband a surprise for his 50th birthday.
I told Jeff he loves to go with his 6 shaggy retrievers, shoot 'em, bag 'em, and then
return to camp to enjoy martinis around the portable fire pit.
Jeff reversed a few things to create a classic and hilarious painting which blew Eric away.
We love it." Thanks, Kim C.
"GOLF CARTS WERE JUST TOO SLOW FOR JACK"
General Jack Chain's daughter-in-law wanted a special commission for the retired General's 70th birthday.
I reviewed his stint on the National Security Council, his war efforts and determined that there was
absolutely nothing funny about this man. He did ski and play golf and used to fly some serious jets in his day.
So I put him on a golf course, and add his jet fighter on the golf cart path with his clubs in the cockpit.
Mind you, this was 3 ft. x 2 ft. high. I sent the art to her in Las Vegas,
she framed it and carried all the way to the east coast to give to him at his 70th birthday celebration.
The family and Jack loved it.
"WATCH OUT IMELDA"
Carrie's sister wanted me to do a piece on her sister's fantasy.
Her fantasy "shoe closet" had revolving oak and glass (quite specific) shelving with
hundreds oF pairs of shoes. There were so many shoes she "needed" to have a custodian
to watch over them. She also described the sister's outfit and this was the result.
Needless to say, it was a hit.
"I Don't Know Much About Art,
But I Knows What I Like"".
" I saw one of Jeff's paintings about a woman who loved this art
with a big nose. I said that I wanted a painting of me in that same
situation. Jeff did my likeness perfectly and we came up with
that great title. ---Gerry P.

"NBA Chuck."
Chuck, his brother Gerry told me, always falls asleep in front of the TV dreaming he,
yes he, is going to be an NBA basketball star.
Not at 62 you don't Chuck, sorry!! This one was pure fantasy and I loved doing it!
His family hooted and at that moment I think Chuck realized that
this was as close as he would ever get to being in the NBA.
