Marilyn, 2012, Ballpoint on paper, 8"x10"


David, 2012, Ballpoint on paper, 11"x14"

Because of the interest in my ballpoint portraits, I've decided to make it an option on my blog's side bar so you can commission one instantly! Send me a photo, and I'll draw your portrait in my ballpoint circles. Just like that, you can be the proud owner of a Colleen Blackard original drawing!

Note: I use Parker Pens for portraits that conform to ISO12757-2, so the drawings are archival!

8"x10" Ballpoint Portrait from your photo: $250 plus shipping

11"x14" Ballpoint Portrait from your photo: $500 plus shipping

I will contact you via e-mail to finalize the details upon receipt of your order.
