Ken doctor/chef portrait



I was really close recently to go back to Sweden Gothenburg where I grew up, but for financial reason again I was not able to. I will have to just trust that my lord and savior will provide one day an opportunity to go back after almost 21 years. Here is a recent commission I just did for a family that wanted to give it as a gift. I am in the middle of now painting my new Bathroom so I better get back! See ya all later and as usual comments are always welcomed :)

Grandpa Baseball Fan split in half

How are you all I know I have not been that active on here, but I do post more regulars on my Facebook fan page  and you can always call me any time at 727-422-0668. Here is a quick 11-14 pen and ink water color and pen and ink of a Grandpa that has two grandchildren on two different teams. This is what the client wanted:
"I would like a  B&W caricature of the gentleman in the photos. He’s been watching high school baseball games with me for the past four years and I’d like to give him a drawing  as a going away gift. He has two grandsons that play for two different teams thus the two hats, Braden River and Manatee. I’d like to do something with him watching a baseball game with two hats or pendants or whatever you would like to do but include both teams. I’d like something simple, on the lines of what you do at live events, which I really like."
I used the thick paper off the large printer paper a Kinkos and I thought is would work good with the water color, but it did not soak in right I should have the line work printed onto water color paper. Ohh well !


I hope you all have a Blessed Sunday, I am now off to a Jewish Festival in Tampa (The same client as the Slide show project I did not to long ago)

What Can a Bass See?

Hello Everyone!
Here is one and some close ups of the Illustrations published is the spring issue of the Bass angler Magazine, I will share more when I get the issue in the Mail! If anyones sees the issue in the store please take a picture of it! :)




I feel totally blessed to have received publications and I always pray for more! I know god will provide and show me how to advertise myself, but we all know that takes time and sometimes alot of money! I will share more on this job soon, but in the mean while here are a little  sneek peak at the article and the art I did!

"What Can a Bass See? Part 2
The UV Mystery
By Aaron LeSieur

 In this article we will discuss UV light, some of its’ properties and if bass have the physical ability to detect it visually.  You may be asking yourself why you should be concerned with UV light in regards to bass fishing.  Because there are bait and scent companies, like Pro Cure, Persuader and Tightlines UV, currently using UV properties in their manufacturing process to potentially attract bass."

I used my self for reference! :)
