The amazing shift that we are expeiencing in this age, is that art can now be created and can exist
completely in virtual reality. Our offering make great wallpaper and screensaver, can be used in videos or slideshows, along with the digital snapshot or without. We especially like the “sketch” in this regard, when seen in context with the photo, both works enhance the other.

Learning from past commissions, clients always want to get the most for their dollar,(we do too) so they try to cram as many people as possible into the space. We find the law of diminishing returns goes to work here, and prefer to give each face it’s due. When there are lots of faces staring straight ahead, much emotional content is missed, too.

We have found them to be much less critical of both themselves and our work, so it is our pleasure to pass along saving to our fur children.

Yes. Many “artists” overlay a photo and manipulate it with a photo program. We use photo references, but draw freehand, as our videos show. We are devoted artists who have mastered the art of drawing and traditional mediums. We believe that no matter how new the medium, passion, commitment and authentic artistic communication will always be enjoyed and appreciated.

As a rule, NO. We are trained to use photo references, but find more
artistic sensitivity when you draw freehand. So we do not render over a snapshot, we draw from a
blank screen.
