Commission Artwork

So far, most of my commissions have come from reference photographs supplied by my patrons. I am skilled at creating beautiful pictures from new and old photos of varying quality. My top priority is to complete your custom commissions like priceless phonograph records in a digital world.

My Art History

As a boy, I was a bit obsessed with drawing. My main themes were dinosaurs, religious figures, and cartoons. While drawing, I lost all sense of time. It was and is very much like the feeling of the same name described in one of my favorite books, Flow, written by Miahly Csikszentmihalyi.
