I'm a 24-year-old father of three. I have a 4 year old son, a 2 year old daughter, and a two week old baby girl.  I have been painting portraits and murals for 7 years. I graduated high school in 2002  and  I  graduated from the Art Institute Of  LA  in 2005 with a bachelors in animation. My son was born just before I graduated and I decided when he was born I was going to do anything to make sure I spent as much time with him as possible. So I haven't really been trying to pursue a career in animation. In high school I won a state award for fine art and I also received best in quarter for anatomy while I was at the Art Institute. So I decided it would be best for my family  to dedicate my time to them and paint murals and portraits on the side. I tend to charge a little less for my work because I'm trying to make art available to everyone. I have a link to my web page attached to this. It's not real fancy but I think it gives a good example of my capabilities. I'm not limited to any style. Anything you can think of I can paint it. I also use charcoal and oil pastels for portraits which cost a bit less than my paintings. If you want to contact me
