Artist Reply: Michael, it's kind of a funny story how this one got done. Don't know if you read the text, but I'm very appreciative of your comment. Thank you!!
WOW i LOVE your work so much!
i could only dream of being as good as you :)
i noticed that your work is in the calender.. i also made it into the calender, very proud :)
Artist Reply: Matt, you're a sweetheart. Thank you! I've got you in my favorites, too.
Artist Reply: Hi! Thanks Walt, I had to try to impress! He made me work harder, and it paid off on this one. He has never said if he liked where anyone else could see if he did, but he did write to tell me what he thought of it, and that I got the scar in his eyebrow, just right. :))
geez.. yopu beat me to drawing him. We have discussed me drawing him before. In fact I tend to draw friends and people i know when commission work is down and I want to keep in practice. I have noticed that for me, drawings I do of friends and drawings I want to do turn out far better than comissioned drawings. Your work is great!!
Artist Reply: Oops! David, sorry! But, he had the temerity (just kidding Rob) to "call me" on the shoddy work I did on some beads in one of my pics. I thought, okay, now you've earned the risk of having me ask to do your portrait! :)) He said yes, it was a privilege, and especially since he's so easy on the eyes:))) Thanks, David! Now, don't go showing me up too badly!
I bet he does Love it!!!.. It is just amazing!!!!!... Super work my Freind.. you are truely amazing!!!
Artist Reply: Monique, I guess so. He complimented me on being the first preson to ever do his portrait. He said it was amazing stuff, and thanked me. But, I do want to thank you, again, for commenting! Happy you thought well of it!
what a sweet, looking person, you have captured this persons essence to a TTTTT!!!!!
Artist Reply: I thought so too, Joanna! It seemed that a portrait was in order! The more I do, the more enlightening discoveries I find about my work. Thanks for the comment!
Carliss, this is just brilliant. Your pencil work is superb. So excellent. Miguel
Artist Reply: Glad you feel that way, Miguel! I have decided that I am going to become as good and so many of the other artists that are here at AW! Thank you so much for your comments!
MAGNIFICENT WORK, CARLISS!!! You know, I'm your biggest fan!!! LOL
Artist Reply: Thanks, Ruth! Too, funny, because another artist self appointed himself, as president of my non-existent fan club! Hilarious!! But I know I'm a fan of yours, and many other artists, here, as well!
