Thanks. Been drawing since I was 9. Started doing design work for a long time (all pencil work) But I've been painting digitally for about 6 years. All self taught.

That's brilliant - similar story to myself, except I stopped drawing for about 10 years, only got back into it a year ago. How do you get your stuff noticed/in print?

Vinnie,
I've been mulling my response for days. I was just blown away, Christmas morning, seeing this for the first time... and again at the prints that came home. While I feel you "got me" and captured who I am, it is so spectacular, that I had to ask if it was supposed to be "me"!
I might have to hit you up for a companion print, let's say Alan on the bike with a Ghostrider-esque feel. Ha-Ha!
You have such a beautiful gift in your talent.
Many thanks,
"Mrs. Green"

Hey Christina! I'm so happy you loved the piece! Aww well I'm very happy Alan asked then. I've always liked the idea of classic pinups, so it all came together nicely
Haha well if it brings out another commission, sounds like a plan for sometime soon then.
Thank you again for the great words about my work, its great to hear how much you enjoy the prints too! All the best to you and the family this New Year!

She resembles Kelli Williams just a tad! I always love it when you do these...
And I always secretly want one done of myself so I can go "see? I am sexy." Mainly because I could never draw myself without consulting a mirror and saying: "where in the hell did that freckle come from?! I GIVE UP" like usual.

I had to just look her up, cause I wasn't sure who she was by name lol. I guess in a way you're right. But I'm happy to say that they were really happy with this! Thank you
Awww right now paying work comes first, so my schedule is always crazy. But keep in mind when I do portraits I always work with nude model.. KIDDING haha *pokes*. But seriously I hear you about a self portrait. I've never been crazy about drawing and painting myself either haha.

Hahaha Thanks Cayce! I was totally all for the old style pinup feel so doing the cop car like this and then making it have the 57Chevy feel just felt good.
Oh, and have a Happy New Year!
