Who I am and what I am doing

Hello, If you are here it is because I gave you the address or someone shared it with you or I guess now you might have seen an ad I ran in a local newspaper. I have been doing art work locally for over 20 years, living at the same address.  I have been a pencil portraitist and I have probably drawn over 2,000 people in lower Michigan mostly in Jackson County either from life or from photos that I took during that time.

I have also painted faces, limbs and exposed skin during about the last half of it and I did that at fairs and festivals in Jackson County. I used flourescent poster paint that glows under black light. I would paint some kid's faces and gruffly say: "you will find a mirror inside that booth" and point them at a booth made of black plastic. They would go in and find a full length mirror with a couple big black lights and their faces would glow back at them. When they came out it was a brand new day with them grinning ear to ear. It was a surprise to them. Not announcing the meaning of the booth was bad for business but it was worth it for the fun they had. I live for grins and giggles.

I have also been working on making that experience permanent by using photography to capture the moment. There are no handbooks or instructions with this because as far as I know I am the only one that is doing this on a consistent basis and it is necessarily experimental. I am finally getting results that are consistent and that I am proud of. I am still experimenting, though it will not take up too much extra time for you now. I still need some more samples and around this site you will find some placeholders that tell you what I think I still need. If what I want and what you need are the same it could earn you some extra goodies in exchange for your release on images that you are proud of.
