My professor Mike Hodges painting and Fiore Custode Retirement party

I was able to go to Fiore Custode retirement party at Ringling College of Art and Design. He taught there for 50 years and also went to the college! I also really enjoyed seeing my other teachers that taught me while I went there from 1990-94. Here is a sketch painting I did of my most strickt and hardest professor Mike Hodges.

Akihito Acrylic Painting

 

My final Akihito done with Acrylics on Cancas, and I personally like the under painting better.

I really enjoyed painting Arihito the Japan General. I did traditional medium in Acrylics for the Tradition Medium Facebook Contest. I hope to add some coloring. Good night

I was able to add some colors, but the shot is not the greatest because it was getting dark outside. I like that my little girl Jillian wanted to be in the shot as well. 

I hope to have my iMac back by the end of the week from the Best Buy Geek squad but in the mean time I will be enjoying the no techno experimentation with my traditional mediums. A big thank you goes out to my associate pastor Lucas Hillman for the new Brushes and paints. God is good let's make this year about him our savior! 

Read my testimonial

While I lived in Sweden in 1978-89, I got involved with the Hip-hop culture and it started as positive movement, but then instead of stealing paint we went for Cars, money, violence, vandalism, drugs you name it. I remember a friend got shot in the head from the back and I ran, remember asking someone to help me! Was in an abandon building getting high with friends, seeing nothing but darkness. I moved to Sweden to live my dad at the age of 18 years old and my mother had a breakdown and could not Handel me! I did not get any better until I was in college and a christian friend Tim Mckenna came and picked me up drunk from a party and told me Jesus would do the same thing and died for me to wash my sins away. I did not see this until 5 years later after a Bible study, it hit me while for some reason I was on the ground watching a star make SOS messages to me, at that point I realized that my God as always been there for me but I ignored him! I was suddenly overwealmed with sorrow but at the same time a peace and Joy that Gods only son Jesus Christ would sacrifice himself for me to have a clean slate! I still have problems to this day, but now I feel the need to be with other believers to help me, so I can spread the kingdom thru my gifts he has given me! I hope everyone has a great CHRISTmas and a happy new year! Peace!http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/lecrae/

Saddel brook Employee awards with Caricature by Lars

My client from the director of human resource center with Saddle Brook resorts and spa in Tampa, wanted three of the award winning employees to receive a Gift Caricature to help boost employee moral! These are 1/2-1 hour drawings that I had to put together really quick, but I also did not want them to look to rushed! I hope they like them and maybe I could get more live/studio gigs at the location, because It has been a long time since I worked out there! I will share more of how the employees liked the art!

I feel so blessed to have great clients and friends such as Sussann Walker that referred the job to me!

  

USF Health fundraising gift commission

I was called yesterday from a client with the part of the University of South Florida "USF" health fundraising department, and she wanted me to paint 12 employees all in one page. This is going to be given to their boss that is being promoted to another department, so they all wanted me to draw them together. It was such a last minute idea and not much time so I convinced her to let me come on location and draw some of the employees on location. It worked out great and I hope to let you all know what happens on Thursday when he will receive the art!
Well here is what I ended up doing a 16-20 inch illustration board with pen and ink, and water color.
