I saved Crispin’s art in my “art I would love to own someday” folder for over a year. Recently, I couldn’t wait any longer, so I signed in to Artfinder and went to my favorite piece, Pyramid Progression. To my dismay, it was sold. Though happy for Crispin, I was kicking myself for not contacting him sooner. Then, I saw that I could commission a piece! Feeling hesitant, I contacted Crispin, even though I assumed the process would be far from ideal. I want to work with an artist who I can collaborate with, and I was unconvinced this medium could remotely support a collaboration. Crispin responded immediately to my inquiry and answered all of the questions that I had. He was not only willing and able to recreate Pyramid Progression, he invited me to collaborate on the colors that I wanted. I had a lot more questions about the process and remained slightly skeptical, but with some back and forth, I was reassured because of Crispin’s professionalism and Artfinder’s seamless medium for communication. I gained confidence in the process, and surprisingly felt more secure because Artfinder was acting as a ‘middle man.’ One request is that I wish Artfinder could have hosted a zoom meeting between he and I. Nonetheless, the process was clean and I was convinced. All that said, my vision is probably blurred, because I see the past through the lens of the present. Working with Crispin was incredible. We connected through his art, and he took the initiative of including me every step of the way, including the small details of framing and delivering (which were both quite important to me). I can say that commissioning a piece with Artfinder was success. More than that, however, Crispin’s professionalism, artistic prowess, pristine and consistent communication and overall demeanor as an artist were superb. He has made me a fan of commissioning art, and more than that, a forever fan of he himself. I am in possession of a progression of pyramid’s that exceeds all of my expectations. Even after a month, I find myself gazing at the gorgeous geometric art that adorns the room it sits in. More than hanging to be admired, the Pyramid Progression I commissioned, coated with an intricate weaving of colors and shapes that Crispin composed, sings. Crispin is a true artist. If you are considering commissioning a piece with Crispin, jump in because you won’t regret it.

Hi Jordan, I'm deeply humbled by your thorough and immensely kind review, and your all round endorsement of my work - thank you so much! I'm really pleased that commissioning a painting was such a positive experience for you. It was an absolute pleasure working with you throughout the process, and I thoroughly enjoyed our developing message conversation that led to the final painting being exactly what you wanted. And to hear of your immediate and deep connection with the painting once you received it is just the best result I could hope for! I'm elated to think of you enjoying your painting for many years to come. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

What a wonderful experience! Crispin communicated with me for several weeks before I made my actual purchase; he helped me sort out shipping questions and made me feel very comfortable purchasing from him. When I finally made the purchase he shipped immediately, and the piece arrived within three days (even with international shipping!). The wooden shipping crate he used to ship was absolutely bomb-proof, and the painting itself was safe and sound inside layers of protective coverings and paddings. His work is absolutely beautiful in person - meticulous and sharp lines with vibrant, saturated colors that complement each other beautifully. The canvas and paints are clearly high quality as well. Highly, highly recommend buying from Crispin if you have the chance, I’m beyond thrilled and will have a lot of fun spending time vibing out with a very cool piece of art. Thanks again!
