FAQs

Where can I see your art in person?

Come find me at the Henderson Gallery, 1000 Royal Street, New Orleans.

I'm on Royal Street most days, and the originals, prints, and framed pieces are all there. I'm happy to talk your ear off about any of them.

Most weekends you can also find me at the Art Garden on Frenchmen Street or Zele on Magazine Street. And if you're in Georgetown, Texas, my work is at Primadora.

Where can I view your originals?

I always have originals, but my stock is constantly shifting and I don't have time to keep my originals updated on my site.

Please contact me and we'll talk about what originals are available. You can also come visit me at the Henderson Gallery, 1000 Royal Street, New Orleans, Louisiana to see my originals in person.

Am I buying a print or the actual original?

Unless it says original, you're buying a print.

Every print is archival ink on cold press watercolor paper, made right here in our studio. The mats are antique white with black ink detail drawn by hand to match each piece, and the frames are hand-carved as well. Originals are a separate conversation, so contact me.

Do you take commissions?

Yes! Contact me here and let’s talk.

Do you ship to countries outside of the United States?

Yes!  My site currently cannot take international orders; contact me directly to place your order and we will work out the details.

Can I put your art in my restaurant, bar, or hotel?

Yes, and I'd like that a lot. I take commissions for custom pieces, and I license existing artwork for walls, menus, and merchandise. Contact me and tell me about your space.

How should I take care of my print?

Keep it out of direct sunlight and it should outlive both of us. The paper and inks are archival, which is the whole point of printing them the way I do. If you're framing it yourself, UV-protective glass is worth the extra few bucks.

Can I just get a sticker?

You sure can. French horn, dulcimer, sousaphone, harp, Stratocaster flower, and a few others. Same artwork, laptop-sized, and the cheapest way to own something I drew.

Why are there so many musicians?

I played bass for years before I did this full time, and I still can't separate the two.

The Musicians Series is my attempt at drawing what music looks like: harpists, fiddle players, French horns, sousaphones, a koto when I'm feeling ambitious. Living in New Orleans doesn't hurt either.

I'm also a nerd with a compulsive need to collect them all, Pokémon style.

What is the Fleeting series?

Flowers, mostly. Botanical pieces in ink and watercolor: pansies, morning glories, azaleas, black-eyed Susans, gladiolus.

They're called Fleeting because that's about how long the real ones last around here. Look closely and you'll find little people in each one, holding onto the flower or trying to ride it. A plucked flower is a moment in time you're trying to hold onto.

What's the deal with the periodic table?

Two years of my life, that's the deal.

All 118 elements with the correct proton counts and electron shells, and each element is its own 4" x 6" piece of art. Each one is drawn as a Bohr model, named after Niels Bohr, which has always been my favorite way to depict an element.

You can buy the whole table as a print, large or small, or contact me about a single element original. Yes, people do buy their favorite element.

Can I buy the Periodic Table framed from you?

Short answer is yes, but I only create hand-carved frames when I frame this piece.

Contact me to create an order and to discuss the details.

What do you call your style, what the hell am I looking at?

Primarily ink and watercolor, though I do dabble with other media. I don't really have a name for it.

It's a combination of my interests: comic books; architecture; audio engineering; music; Chinese landscape painting; Kandinsky; games; and science fiction.

What drugs are you on when you make these?

A real question I get a lot. The answer is none. I drink about two cups of coffee a day, sometimes three if I'm feeling in a party mood. Most people are surprised or scared when I tell them none, as opposed to saying something like "all of them."

Do you do art shows?

A handful every year, mostly around the region. Get on the newsletter and I'll tell you first.

Where else can I find your work?

Besides the gallery and this site, I'm in the Louisiana Art and Science Museum shop. See the first question above for the other places you can find my work in person.

How can you support me if you can't buy?

Please follow me on social media at @tonyhollumsart, and like, share, and comment on any of my posts.

If you've visited the gallery, leaving a Google review is a huge help. It's how people find us on Royal Street.

Another option is to buy me a "coffee." Coffee keeps me going. Give me $5 or whatever you are comfortable with. Follow this link: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tonyhollums. THANK YOU!
