The origin
It was the names that got me inspired.
Back in 2005, I discovered that there were thousands of named angels throughout multiple mythologies. I've been hooked ever since and Angelarium has been a part of my life every single day. Even when I'm not paying attention to it, it's gone out on the internet and had a life of its own. The name of the project has come to define the idea of surreal angelic figures and the fan base around it has inspired me to continue to create new designs for it.

FAQ
STORE
Q: I’m trying to access the store, but I keep receiving ERR_CONNECTION_RESET when doing so. How do I fix this?
A: A very small number of fans have been getting this error when navigating to the store; we've checked everything on our end and it's all in working order. This issue could be caused by a few things, especially VPN connections. Try disabling your VPN, using a different device or using a different browser and you should be able to access the store.
Usage
Q: I'm writing books/short stories/poems, and I'd like to pair them with your art. Would you be okay with that?
A: Sorry, no. I'm not granting permission to be freely reused to accompany pieces of writing. If you have a serious inquiry about a paid licensing contract, please feel free to reach out.
Q: Can I use your Angel illustrations as a part of my tabletop roll-playing game?
A: Am I going to be upset if you share my work around your gaming table? Of course not.
However, if you contact me about permission to share my art with your gaming group, I will always answer 'no'. There was an instance where I granted permission to share my art with their personal gaming group. However, they published an extensive gaming module using a considerable amount of my art. This sort of publication is theft, whether you are charging for it or not. Please do not publish my artwork as part of your homebrew gaming module.
At some point, I'll be offering an official Angelarium gaming handbook. Until then, I'm not going to sanction competing products.
Q: Can I use your art on my album cover/SoundCloud?
A: This is something I charge for. Please feel free to contact me about licensing information.
Q: Can I design my own Angels?
A: There are thousands of Angel names and its easy to make up new ones. Anyone is welcome to explore this space and create their own Angels the way I do. I'm honestly surprised there aren't more people doing this. It's a lot of fun.
That being said, please be respectful of any original designs that I create for Angelarium. As an indie creator, I value to copyright on these designs. If you ever reuse them in your artwork, please credit their original inspiration as not to create confusion about their origin.
Q: Can I get a tattoo of your art? Does that cost anything?
A: You are more than welcome to get an Angelarium tattoo, and you do not need to pay me for permission. Here is my list of requests regarding an Angelarium tattoo:
Do your research and get a skilled tattoo artist. I would hate for you to regret wearing my art.
Find an artist that specializes in adapting artwork. Typically, the more they tattoo artist injects their own style, the better the results.
Send pics! I love seeing them.
I also love getting linked on IG.
Shipping
Q: I'm trying to make an order, but I'm getting an error message. What happened? Have I been charged?
A: Your card will only be charged if your order has completed successfully. This error is common and almost exclusively due to an incorrect billing address zip code. If your card is associated with your business or your old house, our system requires you to provide that address in the "billing address" fields.
Q: Why does the shipping cost so much?
A: All of our items are made special or customized here in Florida and then shipped out of our small warehouse. That means all orders outside the US need to be shipped through expensive International services. If you believe your shipping cost is larger than it should be in error, feel free to reach out. We appreciate when people help us spot errors in our system.
Q: My tracking information isn't updating. Where is my package?
A: USPS is terrible at sharing tracking information. We're sorry, we wish it were more transparent. Please be patient if this happens. In the rare event that your package is lost, we will first work with USPS to find it. If it can't be found, we'll replace it.
Upcoming Art
Q: Will you be illustrating Michael, The Qliphoth, Metatron, etc.?
A: Maybe. There are plans to illustrate many of the most prominent figures in angelic lore, but I'm taking every piece as it comes. Please be patient waiting for your favorite.
Q: Are you taking requests?
A: I'll be illustrating whichever Angels I decide on. Sometimes fan input has swayed me, but I can't make any guarantees.
