Brian & His Dog

IS ANYONE THERE?!?!?! This is the time where I give that same apology all the blogs give when they are no where to be found for months. Well this is where we are at. We have currently moved out of our house(due to foreclosure coming) and moved into a very nice apartment above a store front. We also have a very nice landlord. As of Dec. 18th I got laid off from my production art job at Oarsman Sportswear. The company that owned us decided to shut it down and move everything to their location in another state. I am however doing some freelance for them working at home. I am also currently studying to get my macintosh certification so I can work for the guy who use to service our macintosh computers at work. I would be working on mac laptops... so that's kind of exciting. Don't worry i'll still be drawing! Anywho enough history and on to why this blog spot is here.

This is my recent portrait I completed. It was done for a customer who is also my sister in-law. It was a Christmas gift for her fiance and he was very happy with it. I always love to see people get their portrait. It makes you realize that it is special in doing these for people. Usually people don't get "excited" and such when they get a quick 10min. drawing. Sure they enjoy it and like it of course. But when you go into this kind of detail and likeness... they get more attached to the piece.

This drawing is also in my work in progress section by clicking here.. Brian & His Dog WIP. It was my first time drawing a dog, and I think it turned out quite nicely.
