I have many done many pencil portraits in my local area, and a few pet portraits as well. I have had great feedback on my portraits and have expanded to doing furniture for children, such as toy boxes and rocking chairs. I am illustrating my first children's book, now and will be receiving an Associate degree in graphic design in June 2006. My style ranges from realistic graphite and painted portraits to a more American Anime style used on shirts and logos. I can help you memorialize a loved one, or add that special touch to a gift for a child. My rates are reasonable and your satisfaction is my number one goal. I'll work with you directly and keep you posted on the results to ensure you get exactly what you are seeking.
