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 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.

Construction Details
Flat panel pieces are backed with 3/4" interior Plywood which floats the piece off the wall. Each piece usually comes with a pair of matching cleat hangers, one being already attached and the other for your wall. You have the option of adding a security hanger system.
  
My signature sculptural pieces are contructed entirely from metal with a bronze angle structural framework that allows for a curved surface background and floats the piece off the wall 1 - 3" depending upon the size of the artwork. Here the frame is being soldered to a very large (five foot) piece for a curved rock wall so both the surface and the frame had to be diffrent curves. The curve of this structural framework then had to match a second sub-frame hanger attatched to the wall.
The image below shows both a three-dimensional element (in this case the bird, branch and leaves) and what I call "layering"; the metal being stacked or layered with varying thicknesses of plywood risers to achieve a sense of depth. Three-dimensional elements can be added to either flat panel designs or sculptural pieces. Layering on Sculptural pieces requires small metal frames.
