Super Talented Black Artist Launches Affordable Illustration Company

Charles Franklin, founder of Studio 40 Acres

Charles Franklin, a very talented freehand artist from Washington, DC, has launched his very own boutique illustration studio called Studio 40 Acres. With specific expertise in photo to pencil drawing art, his mission is to create memorable custom illustrations specifically geared to the needs of people that want professional artwork for under $80 dollars.
“As an artist myself, I get frustrated by the poor quality of art and the costs associated with some custom pieces on various websites,” says Franklin. “People lose loved ones, give birth, and experience life’s special moments. Sometimes a memorable piece of artwork makes the perfect gift to many.”

If you’ve ever tried to have something like this done before, you probably already know this exists. A few companies have been doing the whole photo-into-art thing for years. Where Studio 40 Acres thinks they have them beat, however, is in pricing, and turnaround time.

Studio 40 Acres’ website is also a bit more… it’s modern, easy to use, and most importanty, its for the culture. Setting up your order takes all of a few seconds; Email your photo, communicate with the artist, choose framing (if desired), and have your masterpiece delivered.

Franklin says he strives to be the go-to platform for custom art drawings in the African American community.

The Artistic Mind of a Criminal

I used to have a client who is a professor when it comes to art, paintings and antiques. He paints one portrait and makes millions out of it and that really fascinated me so much that I started doing some research into the Art, paintings and antiques industry. I discovered that the painting industry in Ghana is very small and young but elsewhere in the world, it is a huge industry which contributes significantly to the economy of these countries. The USA economy in 2014 and 2015 benefited US$730 billion and US$763.6 billion respectively from the Art, Paintings and Antiques sector(1). US$12 billion (£9.2 billion) was contributed to the UK GDP in 2016 from the Art and Painting sector(2) with Singapore’s Art and Painting contributing S$2.13 billion to the GDP in 2013(3).
