Me



 

I am available for commissions. If you like what you have seen here & would like me to do a portrait of yourself, your family - or who/whatever - please contact me at the following e-mail:

Lately, I have been working in smaller pieces (ie- Harry Potter, Kate Austen, etc). This not only helps to keep my interest in a smaller workspace, but also to increase productivity. I won't say 'no' to a larger piece like works I have done in the past, but I generally don't do large anymore. Prices are as follows (sizes may vary):

12"x 8" - $75

3"x 5" - $30

Obviously, sizes will vary depending on the image drawn, but I generally do a portrait with very little background involved. This also helps with the speed of completion. Just let me know what you are interested in and we will go from there!

My story so far...


 I was born in Santa Clara, California & have since lived all across the country. In 2003, I moved back out to California to attend Cogswell College where I spent a year studying animation, however at the same time I rediscovered my passion for freehand art, so I changed course & continued to pursue it.

 I've been drawing as long as I can remember. But, oddly enough my Mom has told me when I was little, she couldn't get me draw at all. Funny how that changed. The first thing I remember drawing was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I then moved on to Disney stuff, due to the uber-cool Beauty & the Beast & Aladdin movies.

In high school I mainly focused on portraits of actors, etc. Capturing the look of someone, either famous or not is a fun challenge. My art teacher really helped and encouraged me in this direction. I owe him a great deal. The first two big productions I tried were Two-Face and Claire Danes.

  As previously mentioned, I have also dabbled in computer based art, lately I mainly do it for a hobby. Sometimes I like to substitute actors/actresses into movies who were either up for the part initially or who I think is just a better choice. For example: Elisha Cuthbert as Mary Jane Watson or Elizabeth Banks as Sue Storm, for example.

As you will see as you look around on this site, I've drawn a lot of other things that aren't finished at this time. The curse of being an artist, right? Hopefully someday I will get them all done. The problem I have with being an artist is I am always getting more cool ideas to do. So, I start a lot, but hardly finish most projects.

I'm also branched a little into special effects make-up/latex, etc. I am very much a novice at the moment, but hopefully I will be able to hone these skills as well.

Alright, that's me! Enjoy your stay and let me know if I can create something for you!
