Commission me.



I've always loved to paint and draw in addition to taking photos. I often take photographs I've shot, and rework them into paintings. Never did I imagine I could make money from this. Somehow, the idea of it doesn't settle well with me.

After much berating, my good friend Brandon insisted that I take this photo of his fiancé's grandfather, and transform it into one of my characteristically yellow/red/high-contrast/acrylic creations. I think one of my issues with it is that I don't love every painting I make, and I have separation anxiety from those that I do. This painting, for example, misses me and wants to come home.

Now that I'm working on my forth commission I'm getting over it.
