send noods for christmas

I’m opening up a few nood commission spots just in time for the holidays. You don’t need another fast fashion sweater, “cool girl” gift guide trinket, trending TikTok shop gadget. You need the kind of art you can’t find at HomeGoods or Target. You need an homage to your inherent strength, beauty, and determination.

Details:
- 9x12”
-$400, $200 deposit to get started.
- Send me an email (abbeycrain@gmail.com) and I’ll send you directions on how to get a great reference photo. I need a $200 deposit to get started. And your piece will be delivered in time for Christmas.
-OR send me the contact info of your partner/spouse/special someone and I will not so subtle hint at your Christmas list ;)

Some background in case you’re new: I’ve been painting folks’ nood portraits since 2020. This process has been life changing for me. Seeing bodies from across the spectrum has truly changed the way I look at myself and others. I hope to be able to show you a version of your body not connected to mirrors, beauty standards, past perceptions of image and weight, but as it is: a three dimensional plane that takes up space and makes light dance and reflect off its surfaces, a work of art worth celebrating. See some examples here.

And in the spirit of the season….

Life is tough for so many people right now. And custom art is not in everyone’s budget. I want to give away one free portrait to someone this year. I don’t need to hear “the why” or the “how,” just send me an email with “tis the season” in the subject line and I will randomly draw a name. This is a… “put your name in if you need it” situation. You don’t have to prove anything.
