Do they smell?
No. The papers sit around for awhile before I use them. Also, the picture is coated with an invisible layer of common “school” glue.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size. An 8×10 portrait can take up to 70 hrs…and that’s solid non-stop work.
How many papers go in to one of your pieces?
It’s impossible to determine. I use an Xacto knife to dissect each paper. I might make 3 individual “puzzle Pieces” from each roach. It becomes too difficult to keep track of.
How much does an original cost?
Again, it depends on the size and difficulty. It’s on a case by case basis. They start at $1,000 and range as high as $10,000. However, those prices will change with demand.
Are you the only one doing this type of art?
As far as I know, yes. I have never seen anything personally or online that is anything like Chronic Art.
