Do you like my artwork? Ever wish you could have a fine art portrait done? Want to be a part of a portrait collection? Join me on Patreon (any tier) before January 31, 2019 to have you face immortalized! Even if you've gotten a commissioned portrait in the past, this is something very different!

Portraits of You – A Celebration of Patrons of the Arts!

I would not be here today without the help of my friends, family, and supporters. And I want to thank you, not just with words, but with actions. Since February marks the one year anniversary (yay!) of going live on Patreon, I thought this would be the perfect time to do something special!

As some of you know, when I was born, I not only inherited some amazing artistic talents, but also some physical disadvantages. I was born with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) - a collagen/connective tissue defect, and hip dysplasia. Both genetic conditions, an both considered rare disorders. These conditions are degenerative and cause other conditions that are progressive, and make it so I cannot do most of the things that people take for granted without severe pain or injury. But what I can still do, is make art....so I'm making as much as possible for as long as possible!

My goal is to have enough portraits by the end of the year to have a solo gallery show in the Seattle area. Every portrait will be of someone who is not only a fan of my work, but an actual Patron of the Arts, who helps to support me and enable me to keep making art!

Why do this special offer now?  

February marks my one year anniversary on Patreon, and I felt like this was the perfect time also give back to those who are making my life as an artist possible, to give thanks to my friends and patrons!  

What gave you the idea to draw everyone's eyes and faces?

I have been fascinated with faces and people from very early on, and one of my biggest passions is portraiture. And more specifically, white pencil portraits. The idea for this project actually started a few years ago, when I was working on my David Bowie tribute portrait. I kept listening to “Blackstar” (I love that song so much) over and over, and the lyric “and in the center of it all...your eyes” kept standing out to me. I had a vision of doing a show where the entirety of it was made up of the portraits of those who support and enable me to be a working artist. Some of them were just eyes, and some of them were full head and shoulders, but all of the portraits were of people who believed in me and my artwork.  

If I don't join by the 31st, will you be doing this offer again? 

Nope! This is a once in a lifetime chance to be involved in this project and be a part of a very special art collection and show! Details: https://www.patreon.com/posts/special-offer-d-24059624 FAQs: https://www.patreon.com/posts/special-offer-24233139
