A really cool mascot mural at HBHS.
Creating mascots and school murals is always enjoyable. It allows me to engage in more vibrant and playful artwork than usual. I created my version of the HBHS mascot bursting through a block wall on the concession stand. He looks quite serious and ready to storm the field!

Painting a portrait for Randy and Ginger Lee.
I have worked with and for Randy Lee for a long while, and really appreciated when he asked me to do a portrait for Ginger of there 2 children. They supplied some reference photos, each child in separate pics, that I would need to combine. I always love a challenge and I knew this painting could be excellent if I could get it right. I think the final product came out wonderful and I really had a blast painting it. I did a few live streams while painting it, that really

Painting Prince Levi
So it started with how great the reference pic Rob Harris supplied for a portrait of his father. I saw how good that painting turned out and decided I would probably have to start taking the photos myself, if I wanted to create some more dramatic lighting and mood to my paintings. Once I found a photo of Levi I was convinced would be a good painting the process began. I had the majority of the painting done when I realized I would need to change the hands around slightly to
