This is Noodles, my Art Studio Supervisor. I don’t know how she even got that title because she is NOT qualified and she certainly isn’t helpful. Honestly, I don’t even think she knows how to draw.

I never thought I’d see one of my portraits in a magazine. Thank you again for the opportunity and for using it in your ad, Linda Nelson-Vinson!

Bad things can happen when you neglect to put the cover back on your graphite powder. 😩

This one was so fun. I was asked to put two dogs together from different pictures. Mission accomplished! Merry Christmas, Ariella! 🎁🎄❤️

I just had to give up on a portrait after working on it for probably eight total hours. There was a portion that I was continually unsatisfied with and I erased and redid it one too many times and messed up the paper. I tried several different techniques to try to salvage it, but decided this morning that I need to start over. Back to the drawing board. Literally.

I’ve had a lot of people ask me if I can draw people. The answer is yes, I can, but I choose not to. I’ve done three portraits of people over the last 30 years and each was for very special reasons and a gift from me to their parents.

This is Delaney, who I drew five years ago or so. She’s likely the only human portrait you’ll ever see here.
