Commission

Table of Contents

For centuries, patrons have been going to artist’s studios to sit for their portait. Enter The Machine portraits continue this tradition, except the subject is digital rather than corporeal and sitting is out of the question.

The process for creating good portraiture hasn’t changed in hundreds of years: get to know the subject, perceive their unique qualities, and render them in visual form. It’s a collaborative process that requires time and attention on the part of the artist and patience and cooperation on the part of the patron.

I’m excited to explore this new frontier and expand the limits of portraiture to include digital entities. I invite you to join me in this exploration and request to commission a portrait of a digital entity that holds significance to you.

– Eric Corriel, artist
