This self-portrait is an example of the unusual one-of-a-kind digital (vector) portraits created by me from photographs supplied by client. I reduce the image to a series of colorful geometric abstractions which, when layered together in a digital-imaging program, create a lifelike portrait. This usually takes 2 or 3 days of intense, focused work. Your finished portrait-to-order will be 13"x19", printed on heavy stock with archival inks for rich color, detail and long life. It's shipped rolled in a heavy-duty tube and is ready to take to the framer's. IMPORTANT: I can't work from just any photograph. It must be clear and detailed enough to provide me with sufficient information to create from. I also reserve the right to reject a photo that I just don't think I'll be able to work from for artistic reasons. I'll be happy to review possible photographs and let you know if the project is feasible.

ABOUT ME
I've been working professionally as an artist for 35 years, but I've actually been doing portraits for longer than that. I began doing pencil portraits when I was still in high school, and over the past 45 or so years I've done hundreds of portraits in pencil, acrylic, and more recently, in digital form.
ABOUT MY WORK
Portraits are just one part of my work. I'm a fairly versatile artist, creating landscapes, figurative work, and abstracts, as well as the occasional graphic-design assignment. I'm good at many things because I've spent many years learning and refining my craft, doing my best to maximize the talent I began with.
Although portraiture is just one aspect of my work, it is my favorite. Faces have always been my favorite subject, and the one I'm best at.
