About me: I started to draw in Febuary 2006 off the coast of Virginia on a big aircraft carrier called the Dwight D. Eisenhower. I was working in the brig at the time. By convention I am actually a Nuke Machinist Mate. Its a pretty interesting place. I throughly enjoy drawing in pencil, charcoal and some color. I need to bring my confidence up in using color. But that will come in time. I do commissions. If interested just email me markgriffinartwork@yahoo.com. I enjoy portrait drawing the most. I live and work in the Hampton roads area in Virginia. I enjoy Virginia Beach. I enjoy working out and staying in shape. Feel free to comment on my artwork. I do like constructive criticism. My influences are my niece Sherry Davis, Lee Hammond, J.D Hillberry and Ann Kullberg. I also have a Deviant Art profile under http://subcritical.deviantart.com/
I am good, living here in Alaska now and adjusting rather well to it. I hear about the school stuff, I am glad that I am through with it, for now any way. So did you ever get my email asking about prices, for a family portrait?
Just Droppin' By to say I'm still thinking of you, and really really miss you! Last night Joe (my brother), and Jim and Mike and I and all of our wives! all hung out together - They were actually asking "whatever happened to Mark?" And I was able to give a partial answer.
Up here it's REALLY hot (over 100!) -- if you can imagine that in Oregon, and the sky was full of smoke all week from fires around here.
Also we are having a 25th high school reunion in about a month. It doesn't quite fit you, but I'd bet you'd know everybody there. Let me know if you want details my old friend -- PARTY TIME!!
jUST REALLY HERE TO CHECK IN AND SAY hi !! i'M ONLINE WITH MESSENGER ONCE IN A WHILE, so check if you have it set up and want to talk
As far as news here: I, myself, just passed my training at work with a 100% score, which means a raise and all that good stuff! Hope all's well with you too!
Not much going on here today, or this weekend for that matter. I keep thinking how much I'd like to get out camping though, before it get's really REALLY hot here.
Hope your week has been going OK! And you're out having fun instead of reading this!
A new product line I'm working on. These are hand turned frames with watercolor paper adhered to them tucked in an inset grove. I can do portraits on them and do paintings as large as 20 inches. (from edge to edge of frame)
