When I started drawing pet portraits, I had no idea it would become one of the leading types of commissions for the custom art side of my business. I remember the first time I drew a dog, I was commissioned to do a huge 20 x 24 inch portrait of a German Shepherd. It was insane how hard it was, but by the end (55 hrs later) I was like DAMN! I did it! and that’s how it always starts. The second you learn how to draw something new, it becomes an addiction to get better and better until you feel you have hit that level of hours where you are professional at it.
I absolutely love drawing dogs. Its therapeutic for me. The strokes in the fur, the highlights in the eyes and the wet noses are so much fun to bring to life! The best part is seeing my clients face light up when they see their baby!

If you are interested in commissioning two pieces or more in the same scheduled project, one after the other, I offer package pricing. This will reduce your overall cost by a few hundred dollars, maybe even more depending on the sizes you commission your pieces at!

So many Artists create their logo designs on a computer program like Illustrator or Photoshop. Some on an iPad with Procreate. I create everything by hand. Pencil to paper, I begin creating the masterpiece that reflects the unique and rare parts of who you are as a business owner and what your business illuminates. Being a deep thinker in all parts of my life, I feel a hand illustrated logo offers something that something created on a screen doesn’t. In no way do I think that type of art is less than what I do, but its process is less personal. Less raw. Less true to the organic nature of what comes to life through the drawing process.
After my logos are drawn in Micron Pen on Smooth Bristol paper, I will then send it off to my design team and have them Vector your piece for you for all printing and web needs! This means you have the same type of files a designer would provide you with, in addition to a custom piece of art you will be sent and can put up in your home or office. There is something special in my eyes about having the original drawing of your logo. That 40 years from now you could glance over on your wall and see what started your empire you have today. That is my dream, that is what I hope to be helping people with for years to come.

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your continued support in commissioning artwork! I absolutely love the client list I have developed over the last 8 years! I truly feel my work has attracted the exact type of clients I have always strived to gain. Kind, Compassionate, and connected.
Somedays I wake up and one of my clients stories pops into my mind, it blows me away the strength in human beings. It is not rare anymore for clients to share their life story with me, the longer you create custom art for clients, the more well versed you become in opening up to others and them opening up to you. Its such a beautiful connection that I am honored to have. And the more depth to a project assigned to me to draw, the better it comes out. Clients have shared stories of grief, euphoric joyful moments in their lives, accomplishments, failures, hardship, family etc. Through hearing these stories I realize more and more how connected we really are as a species.
We are not alone, we are all one. One letter makes all the difference and I continue to set out to help bridge that gap we all tend to go to when going through hardship. The clients who have gone through hell and back are often commissioning a very intricate and thoughtful piece for someone else. Their kindness, even through trials and tribulations lights up the world. That is one of the best parts of doing what I do. Hearing others stories, and then seeing that through all of the “ugliness” life throws at them, they still are thinking of others and what they can do to bring light to another life. Wow. I am just the illustrator, they are the real creator. I give my clients all the credit.
I love you all!
