PROCESS: Bright, colorful and fun, this portrait style is meant to uplift and empower the subject framed. To create these works, I paint digitally with my stylus playing with a specific library of colors and brushes. After studying the reference photo, I consider the outfit, vibe, and traits of each person. This is one of my favorite parts of the process! It is an opportunity to connect with a faraway person through art. Recurring themes, as shown, include delicately patterned orbs, watercolor and stucco brushes, contour lines, splattered paint looks, and strong stares.

PRODUCT: You have two print size options. Both will be printed on Archival Matte Paper aka Moab Lasal Photo Matte Paper. The prints will come wrapped in plastic, or paper with a note of appreciation! In addition to a print version of the portrait, you can opt-in to receive a digital version as a PNG which can be used as profile images from Instagram, Facebook, Twitch etc. If this is of particular interest to you, we can work out a package that includes a banner and other related imagery!

This is a great gift for the upcoming holiday. If you’re looking to celebrate yourself, a friend, a family member, or even an icon you (or a recipient) loves, these portraits aim to do just that.
