Blog / 2015 / Original or Special

January 19, 2015

I just published a book about originality, imitation, and why I don’t claim the copyright on my art, and it is available here. I talk a lot about these sorts of things on this blog, but also about portraiture. Specifically, I am interested in the specialness it confers on its subjects. You can hire me to paint or draw your portrait!

Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!

Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? I’d love to hear from you.
