A Couple’s First Artistic Collaboration

For a portrait artist, the difficulty lies in capturing single emotions, moods, and moments. For one self made artist, portraits are everything, and he displays his works in his Marion home, where he lives with his wife. The faces of an American tap dancer, an actor a scientist, the composite between three famous comedians, the traditional cast members of a long running science fiction TV series, a former TV reporter, various rock stars, athletes and entertainers, and his friends are shown in his biggest montage, which he calls “Faces”. He starts by taking still from videos, from which he gets some really interesting expressions. The montage is a tribute to the people who influenced him as he worked on it for a year and a half.

His other walls are filled with individual portraits of the lead singer from Babes in Toyland, who is a Russian gymnast and singer songwriter. He commonly uses pencil, graphite, and charcoal in his work. He decided to add to his abilities by learning to use conte crayon and colored pencils. Colored pencils became another of his skills with his first sketch of him and his Japanese wife, who is from Kobe. Both American drawing and Japanese wood block print styles were used in the drawing. Adding personal and Japanese symbols, he began the drawing with his wedding photograph, taken at City Hall in December 1996, as the foundation. Their trio of cats, not present at the actual wedding, had to be included in the drawing. The face of one cat was turned into a Japanese opera mask, said to fend off evil spirits. Another cat is supposed to represent good luck, and he drew it in the proper position. The couples are dressed in kimonos in the drawing. With her matriarchal symbol, a flower called the kikyo, he decorated his wife. The third cat guards a gingko tree, seen behind the blinds outside the room. The University of Iowa has a tree that inspired the gingko, a sing of longevity. Visit american oil painting artists to learn more about paintings. The first time the couple worked together was on this 1997 drawing. He left it to his wife to think up and test new things. A special spot is reserved in their hearts for this work. As long as he can incorporate people and faces, he would like to try landscapes next. Books are his primary exposure, with four featured and one on the cover, though he has not had his own exhibit. A staff member showed his work to the book editor. Immediately after, the editor praised the artist’s unique blend of different techniques in an email. He went from action heroes and rock stars in his childhood days to today’s complex art. Today, any expression or composition he can think of are within reach. He describes the process as a way of taking a photograph, in which the artist has the freedom to move things around.
