This is the latest in my series of small portraits. It’s approximately 8.5″ x 11″ - mixed media on hardboard.

If you’re interested in modeling for this series make sure you get in touch with me! You don’t have to be a professional model and I welcome all shapes and sizes.

Kristen paints some pretty great stuff herself. You should swing by her website and take a look.

She also posted a video up on YouTube when she received her portrait in the mail. Check it out below:

This chick has the coolest shop. She makes paper goods out of recycled junk mail and embeds seeds in them. You can give someone a birthday card, they can water it and have a flower. Yay!

 I’ve been enjoying the portraits and I think I’m going to expand out their themes a bit more but maintain the same feel.  If you’re interested in having your portrait painted in this style make sure to get in touch with me and let me know.
