$5

FIVE DOLLARS
the whole idea of Sharing has taken an presidential turn in my life. With the introduction of web site services like Fiverr.com and Mpix I have found an easy and fun way to keep my self entertained and share my art with different individuals.
This couple wanted a portrait of them selves in Greece. The photo I was given was a bit smudgy so I HAd to act as a human photoshop and adjust sharpness and details by simple use of watercolors inks and white out.
 This couple commission by the same friend through Fiverr.com wanted to put their friends at magic island with the fireworks and diamond head. Again the photo that I was given was over exposed and no detail in the background. It was also taken at night so the whites were blown out by the flash. Again The human photoshop comes into play and fixes the exposure contrast and definition of objects. I also super imposed the fireworks boats and Diamond Head
This one was actually a birthday and good bye present for some friends of mine. I really care about these 3 women in my life but through this drawing I seem to have exorcise them out of my life peacefully and without regrets. Besides this moment was painful to me for I was maybe suppose to be the one taking the photograph , However I was instead at home sad and alone.
 This one was one of my Favorite Fiverrs. The costumer was worried about the man in the portrait and had not heard from him in a while, so he hired me to find him and draw a picture of him. It was a bit of detective work trying to find Anton but when I did , this is what came out. No worries he is just fine!! On e of the most talented and intelligent men I have ever met not to mentioned capable of sustaining a party life style and studying for his doctorate. !! Amazing people
Two Beautiful women that I was commission to draw. I had to chase them down find them and draw them.  WAs a lot like an african safari.
 I told you I would draw anything right? Even some one's closet.  Yup is the bar tender at Downbeat Dinner's closet.  All with her nick nacks colors and fabrics, I really like this one

 A Fantastic Musician friend and animal lover. This portrait was a portrait of dog mostly which he is in love dearly.  The creature is super high energy and very loyal. The quality of detail on the portraits is getting better and better. I have discovered techniques and short cuts to create illusions and realistic renderings easily and efficient.

Another Human photoshop gig. My friend Nicole commission me to draw her good  handsome friend hence he was leaving good bye. However she wanted to be at the Valley of the temples with him so I super impose the background and added some shave ice-cream.
Proprietor to Ong King had me do a rendering of their beautiful  space during one of their string installations. YIKES this was incredibly difficult to draw they will probably will never know that. But there you go five bucks, The one below is that of the couple at Kaimanas I believe I took all the mansions out of the background and vegetized the environment making it more free and wild.
