Chaplin, Wall-E and RFK...OH MY!


So, as some of you may know, I can get quite crafty when it comes to gift-giving. So, when confronted with the ever-daunting task of finding a present for Mark (aka: Baby, Pidge, Hubster, the Man, my love, etc.) I decided one year to do portraits of two of his favorite figures of all time: Charlie Chaplin and Wall-e. This is what came of it:

Meet Wall-E



Hello Charlie

 Since painting these, Mark has wanted this portrait-creation to be a yearly thing. So, the following year I decided upon two of his favorite great-minds: Robert F. Kennedy and Nikola Tesla. Tesla was and still is nearly impossible to paint because of the low-quality to very few images that exist of him. I have sort of given up on him for a little while, but here is good ole RFK:
 Good ole RFK

So why am I telling you all of this? WELL, I just recently decided that (due to brokedom) that I should try to create these portraits per the request of others that would be willing to pay me for my services. And behold! An Etsy Shop is born! So far, I just have these few items posted and "Personalized Portraits" available for request/purchase, but more is on its way. So if you feel like supporting a friend, or a stranger, feel free to contact me about a portrait that you might want!
