In Loving Memory of Mako 🐾🖤

It was an honor to create this hand-brushed 16” x 20” memorial portrait of Mako, the beloved 7-year-old Black Lab and best friend of Hockessin firefighter Matt Costa.

On July 4th, Mako unexpectedly wandered off and became lost. He was found the following day, but sadly, he was not in good condition. Despite being rushed to the veterinarian, Mako passed away. In less than 48 hours, Matt lost a companion who had been by his side for seven years—his best friend, his soul, and his heart. His loss has been truly heartbreaking.

I hope this portrait helps preserve the memory of Mako as Matt knew and loved him—a loyal companion whose presence and spirit will never be forgotten. While a portrait can never replace the friend who was lost, my hope is that it provides a lasting reminder of the life, love, and countless memories they shared.

A heartfelt thank you to Marisa and Joey Swift for reaching out and entrusting me with the honor of creating this special memorial portrait for Matt.

Rest easy, Mako. 🐾 Forever loved. Forever remembered.

🐾 In Loving Memory of Molly 🐾

It was truly an honor to create this memorial portrait of Molly, Sandy Ingram’s faithful four-legged companion and cherished member of the Christiana Fire Company family. The bond we share with our pets is unlike any other, and preserving those memories through art is something I never take lightly.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Sandy Ingram and the members of the Christiana Fire Company for allowing me the privilege of memorializing Molly in this special piece. I hope this portrait serves as a lasting tribute to the love, loyalty, and countless memories she brought to those who knew her.

A very special thank you also goes out to Joe Shanahan for reaching out to me and entrusting me with this project on Sandy’s behalf. Your thoughtfulness and kindness helped make this meaningful gift possible.

To Sandy, Joe, the Christiana Fire Company, and all of my clients, friends, and supporters—thank you for your continued loyalty, trust, and support of my work as both an artist and graphic designer. Every portrait, design, and project carries a personal connection, and I am grateful for the opportunity to help tell your stories through art.

Rest easy, Molly. ❤️🐾

🎨 Anyone can create an image. Not everyone can create a design that works.

With AI becoming more common, many people are discovering that graphic design is much more than making something look good.

A professional graphic designer understands file types, print specifications, apparel requirements, color management, vector artwork, signage production, branding, and all the technical details needed to turn an idea into a successful finished product.

Whether it’s a logo, T-shirt design, business card, decal, sign, brochure, or event display, the difference is often in the details you don’t see.

At Grand Slam Graphics, I help businesses, organizations, and individuals take an idea and transform it into professional, production-ready artwork that gets noticed. I have been designing for 30 plus years and I know the ins and outs of design. I have very satisfied clients across the country and overseas and my design costs (and portrait costs) are just about unbeatable!

"A great design isn’t just about creativity—it’s about knowing how to make it work."

Wanted to give a plug to an amazing dog and dog trainer, David Saunders at Brandywine Dog Academy. My wife and I, our son and his finance were visiting the Brandywine Famers Market this past Sunday when we met David and his Belgian/Dutch Shepherd, Sasha. To say we were impressed by his training skills and Sasha's obedience, is an understatement! Wow, what a well trained pup she is! I asked David it could take a few photos and put Sasha on canvas, here is the final result, along with the original photos.

David and Sasha, thank you for taking the time to speak with us and to allow me to send these hand brushed, digital oil portraits to you! God Speed in all your training adventures. We hope someday to get our boy, Tuck, up to see you!

Friends, if you're looking for an amazing dog trainer, give David a call or visit his website at https://www.brandywinedogacademy.com/
David is also on FB and Instagram, with one heck of a following!

Regarding the portraits these are 16x20, hand brushed portraits, using digital art techniques/brushes and pen stylus! If you know of anyone in need of my services please reach out.

Happy Anniversary, Terrence and Skyler Bayko!

Today, I’m honored to share this hand-brushed 16x20 digital oil painting created for Terrence and Skyler Bayko, celebrating their 1-year anniversary today, May 3rd.

A sincere thank you to Terrence — a dedicated firefighter with the Wilmington Fire Department, Deputy Chief of the Goodwill Fire Company, and long-time member of the Lewes Fire Company — for trusting me to capture such a meaningful moment. Your service and commitment to the community make this piece that much more special to me.

🎨 About this piece:
This portrait is 100% hand-brushed using a digital painting process — every stroke crafted with intention and detail. No AI was used in the creation of this artwork. Terrence provided me with the original reference photos, including their two amazing pups, Sherman and Rod (not in the original photo) and I took it from there.

In a time where many rely on AI-generated images, I take pride in offering something different — true, artist-driven work, built from experience, skill, and a personal touch that simply can’t be replicated.

💬 I’m always available for your custom portrait needs, including:
• Wedding portraits
• Anniversary pieces
• Pet portraits
• Memorial artwork
• And more

If you’re looking for something meaningful, timeless, and handcrafted — I’d be honored to create it for you.

I'm honored to present this custom, 16x20, 100% hand brushed oil portrait to Past Chief Chip Thompson – Citizens' Hose Company No. 1 Inc. of Smyrna, DE. Chip and I are life long friends, joining the fire service the very same year.

Chief Thompson’s career is nothing short of remarkable. Beginning his fire service journey in 1987, he has served with Elsmere, Claymont, Goodwill, Aetna, and Citizens Hose Company of Smyrna—rising through the ranks from Lieutenant and Captain to Assistant Chief and Chief. A life member of Aetna since 1992, he also served as one of the first full-time firefighters at the Wilmington Airport and currently serves as Assistant Chief at the Delaware City Refinery Fire Department. He is also an instructor at the Delaware State Fire School, helping train the next generation of firefighters.

Beyond the fire service, Chip is a 20+ year Army/National Guard veteran, serving as an Infantry Medic, Flight Medic, and Intelligence Analyst. He piloted OH-58 Scout helicopters and UH-1 Medevac aircraft with over 1,000 flight hours, completing more than 75 real-world rescue missions—many under night vision and extreme conditions. His military career includes service in Operations Noble Eagle and Enduring Freedom, teaching at West Point, supporting special operations aviation, and even flying Medevac support during the 2009 Presidential Inauguration. Additionally, Chip spent 5 years as an Intelligence Analyst in Counter-drug Operations assigned to the New Castle County Police Criminal Investigation Unit

A true leader both in uniform and in the air, Chief Thompson’s dedication, skill, and service to others are second to none.

It was an absolute honor to capture his legacy in this piece.

Thank you, Chip Thompson, for your service and commitment 🇺🇸🔥. It's an honor to call you my friend!

If anyone has an interest in working with me, please pm me directly, I'd be glad to capture your idea in a painting!

🐾 In Loving Memory of Willie Nelson 🌈

Today we remember Willie Nelson, the faithful and beloved companion of my good friends James Farley and Heather Hudson Farley.

On February 28th, Willie Nelson peacefully crossed over the rainbow bridge and is young again. For 13 wonderful years, he filled his family’s lives with loyalty, love, and joy.

Willie loved his walks, playing ball, and of course he loved his mealtime! He was a devoted protector to his mom and enjoyed his morning car rides to Dunkin’ to get her coffee. At home, he proudly served as James’ loyal “sous chef,” always nearby in the kitchen or by him during a BBQ 🍖 .

Willie Nelson lived a beautiful life and will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched.

Thank you James and Heather for allowing me capture your boy in oil, it was a true honor. Run free, sweet boy. 🐾🌈❤️.
