UNDERSTANDING COMMISSIONS
I have added a page called the "Commission Process" under Ordering Info. If you've ever wondered what it woud be like, this page explaines in a nutshell how a typical commission might work... It's not that scary. As long as you are fairly confident about what you want, we can confer, sketch, and collaberate to come up with something great for that special intimate space you have or something you can build a room around. Questions answered for free.
 What's this?
I'm a member of a national professional design consortium of designer/craftsmen who work in both private and public spaces. For all art enthusiasts and design professionals.

Ribbon Boy!
BEEP-BEEP! Allow me to blow my own horn a bit... I was recently selected to receive the RJ Hetherington Award for Excellence in Metal at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show held November 8-11, 2008 in Philadelphia.
What's in a name?
My last name is pronounced rou'-tee. Rhymes with pouty. It is of German derivation. Jon or Jack? My given name is Jon Michael Route but like JFK, I'm usually called by my nick-name, Jack. Just don't call me late for dinner, yuk, yuk.

JON MICHAEL ROUTE ARTIST - METALSMITH
My newest works are flat-panel metal wall pieces and 3-D sculptural wall pieces. They make use of richly colored heat induced patinas and textures, on pewter, copper, brass and bronze and aluminum. Combining several metals allows for a playful interchange of colors, textures and compositions.
Check out: WORKS >Wall Pieces above and my new page on the Commission Process, under ORDERING INFO. |
