Commissioned Work

The best part of being an artist is the ability to take the dreams of others and bring them to reality through my fingers. Here are a few of the pieces done based on the requests of others:

7. Untitled: Photo courtesy of the Anderson Collection - Interesting concept to take a portion of the image and enlarge it (lower left). By a happy accident part of the clouds looks like a dragon - Can you see it?

9.There was a lot involved in the subject matter for this piece so I thought I would walk you through the creative process. 1). I met with the client and drafted a sketch to include all requested items. 2.) Following this I started color blocking for basic composition and cleaning up the layout and depth.
