Finally posting the final of the Peter Dinklage drawing. Started it in October (I think), but got held up by several Christmas commissions. Even though I'm posting, I am going to fix his eye. Doesn't seem right. Open for commissions right now. Like and share please! 😁

Working on Gary Oldman's drawing right now. 😊😁

Here is a recent commission that I can now post (it was being given as a gift). Some of you Ohioans might recognize this venue as Classics Sportsbar in Pickerington. I haven't done such a detailed, technical piece in a long time. Happy it turned out well, and the client loved it. 😁
