Pencil Drawing of Canton, Ohio: HOF, Palace, McKinley Monument
Feb 23rd
My latest pencil drawing is a large piece titled Canton Lives. The artwork was created partly in response to a Forbes Magazine article which placed my hometown on the Ten Fastest Dying Cities List. Needless to say, many of us who live and work here disagree with that!
The drawing features many well known Canton landmarks: The Football Hall of Fame, the Palace Theater, The Courthouse Tower, The McKinley Monument and Pegasus at the Canton Art Museum.
Custom Pet Portrait in Pencil: Winston the Dog
Jan 28th
Winston turned out to be one of the greatest subjects I’ve had the honor to draw! He has an adorable expression, and such expressive/wonderful ears! This pet portrait in pencil was completed in January of 2010, and is now in the hands of it’s happy new owner. 
Custom Pen and Ink Portrait: House in the Woods
Jan 24th
I recently completed my latest home portrait in Pen & Ink. This drawing was truly a challenge as the house is actually almost completely hidden in the trees. The owners had to take many photos from a variety of angles and I had to piece them together into a final rendering. I love a challenge, and felt honored to work on a drawing of this lovely home!
Custom Pencil Portrait: Corporate Retirement Gift
Jan 9th
Pencil Drawing for Corporate Retirement Gift
This is my latest custom pencil portrait – completed in late December 2009. The portrait was created as a gift for a retiring corporate executive. He received his gift in early January 2010 and I’m told that he loved it!
This project was a challenge, as a number of elements had to be combined into one creation: building, signage, logos and people. After a number of layouts, the drawing started to come together, and the final result is a successful rendering!!
