These siblings are very rarely together at the same time, so I painted this to capture the moment! The sun is so bright on their skin π€© reference photo included!

Mural complete! Strathmerton Primary School, Vic. They only have about 60 students! Koalas are always hanging out in their trees. Isnβt that lovely? π¨

The boy in the chair couldnβt be in the original photo, so the family never had a complete portrait to commemorate the day. Iβm a real life Photoshopper, so I pulled this together using references provided by the client and an AI cane chair! More on this later

Latest mash-up! Portrait created from separate references. Thatβs grandma in the back, but she passed decades before her granddaughter was born π Always a dream to paint these for people!!

I stopped painting and drawing dogs quite some time ago. In December I had a few requests and decided to do a few. Whaddya know, how fun!

I love Katey Sagal! Iβm keen to paint more late-night-fun-portraits. Smoking women (with an actual, old school burning ciggy) would be fun. Any ideas? π

This was a 60th birthday gift for the surfer. Painted from an old photo! Less detail than my usual style, but I really enjoyed this!
