Hi it's Laura. About Me, I just graduated Georgian Court University with a BFA in Graphic Design & Illustration. I am a graphic designer with the Asbury Park Press. I also do freelance work and happily accept commissions. I sell custom paintings and drawings. I've always lived by the Jersey shore, I like being out in the sunshine, in nature. I'm a little shy, very sensitive and loving.
Most of my commissions are portraits from photographs emailed to me. I draw or paint anything, I work from photos and/or concepts. For more information and price estimates please see my blog entitled "Custom Artwork." Thanks!
Here are pictures of some drawings, paintings and artwork done by me:

Colors They never sell crayons with just one color in the box. And the rainbow is not just the color blue Think how boring the world would be if everything was gray Think about how this would effect me and you. Do you think you would notice the beauty of a glade Or the puffiness of the clouds up above. Do you think that people would like to live in gray? Do you think that it would still be filled with love. How lucky we are to have all the colors All the colors of the world for us to see I'm so glad that they sell more than just one color With no colors how boring would the world be?

Hi Laura. I hope things are good in your world. I'm so glad you add your own color to the mix. It's really lovely. Take care my friend. I wish you well. :)
I confess, I'm in love with your art work. And your page? OMG! Are you trying to make someone fall in love with you too? Just by looking at your page? lol Good stuff, beautiful...beautiful...beautiful.
So, I totally got bored today and realized I hadn't chatted with you since the gunther amazingness. So, I headed on over to your page, got caught up looking at all the pictures and go quite carried away commenting my heart out. Sorry you have so many comments to approve! :D Have a good one Laura.

I was going to be upset that you changed that amazing flower picture of yours from your default, but I see you added it into the photo slide, and made a background out of it! Bravo Miss Rispoli!
It's amazing you mentioned that - I was making a TON of Marlon Brando jokes on the day of the christening back in 2005. I think my family was ready to have me sleeping with the fishes by the end of the day, lol.
