Commissioned

Some recent portraits I've completed for the holiday season. I still have very mixed feelings about this endeavor, as I cannot call it "art" but cannot reconcile myself to the production of it otherwise. But I like how these turned out.

How is it not art? Those are lovely!

i once did this with a photo of mulder and scully, and it took quite some time to get all the details right. i think, between the time commitment and the fact people are commissioning you for it, it could definitely be called art.

I love Tahari the best. The personality just shines through.

I really like the white-on-white of "Tahari."

Please don't worry about whether it's "art" or not - you enjoy making them; people enjoy having them in their homes. Sounds like win-win to me.

I love the middle one bestest! They all look great. Nice abstract backgrounds on top and bottom. Especially like the wavy green stripes (still love our stairs, even if they're so dirty :o(

Love what you did with P's shirt! Dress! Outfit! ...veil? I dunno the coloring and patternings on the lavender are very cool and detailed, sort of realistic without being too much so. Nice job! I clap!

My dog was named Misha. People called it Meesha sometimes but it was pronounced mish as in mash. Plus he was a he and people thought he was a she. He was named after a bear. A sleeping bear, in fact.
