Portraits

I enjoy drawing portraits. To capture a person's image on paper is exciting. I want my portraits to look as if they could talk.

This portrait of Mormon church leader Spencer W. Kimball was for a class assignment, but as it turns out he's a distant cousin as we're both descended from the same immigrant ancestor.

A sound engineer friend of mine had a recording studio in Albuquerque. I created a couple portraits of performers he had worked with to hang on the studio walls for the sake of getting cover art work. The results was a contract with a local band for promotional materials tied into the album they were recording. The package centered around a drawing of the band and their mascot.
