I'm an Illustrator that is commissioned to paint
realistic illustrations for practically anyone. My work looks time consuming, but you might be surprised how fast my services can be. Request a free quote and find out.
I just finished a new version of a collection of some old illustrations of mine for a print to be sold in military bases and print shops. It's to help keep up the moral of the troops family and loved ones. I've created several new versions using these four scenes of the soldier. The basic story of the figures are when the soldier is being deployed he misses and worries about his family, then he starts to receive letters that things are going fine and then he can focus on his soldier responsibilities. Original is 30" x 40"
Jay's Rules for "MY"Space.
1. Adding: If you're a band I've never heard of, I probably won't add you, but I'll at least listen to your stuff. If you're a woman trying to get money and/or attention from posting pictures of yourself, please don't even bother. If you know me in some capacity, drop me a note to remind me who you are. If you're just an individual who wants me to add you, drop me a note and I'll do it...what the hell.
2. Don't post any promotional images in my comments. I will delete any blatant promotional crap, not to mention the spammers.
3. No bands just looking to beef up their number of friends. If you are a band and you like my work, write to me and ask me to add you.

All the best to you and your family over the holidays. ~ Sharon
