Taking Requests


I am working out the details of theep3 store, right now I am trying to work on a format so that all the work on my site can be delivered framed or unframed.  The cost of the frame is going to be a lot cheaper than most art sites (these frames cost more than the art itself!!!).  I am including them into the cost of each picture.  The first "set" of all my works will be framed and then after that the individual prints may be purchases.  If there are any requests for any of the work on my website to be available to purchase please contact me via the website under the contact tab. 

Early Work

So before I was ever exposed to any serious art classes,  my main form of "art" was through paint by numbers, puzzles, and those little kindergarten art class that everyone did.  A lot of my friends used to draw and make funny sketches during church, physics classes, and other random boring times.  It wasn't until my last year in high school, that I actually sat down and took the time to try and draw something.  The picture to the left was my first "real" drawing.  To me the feeling of drawing a picture is like breaking down something to its smallest parts and then building it back up.  I put in a lot of time trying to get the proportions and shading just right.  The feeling of finally finishing a picture was so good that I had to do it again, and later drew this:

These pictures were the first seeds I had of being an artist.  2 years later during my Sophomore year in College, I decided to just try an art class to see if I would like it.  My first assignment was a project dealing with lines and elements of design and composition.  The picture to the right is what I came up with.
It was just a simple assignment, but if you knew how long it took me to do this piece, you would have known then how much I loved creating art.  My professor was Thomas Morphis and I took many classes from him.  He had the biggest part in shaping me as an artist.  And as I look back on things this simple assignment changed my life forever.
