RIP shirts are the hardest for me to do…not because I can’t do it but because the person has passed and I’m painting them.  Tugs at the hearts string you know!  I don’t do as many RIP shirts these days but when someone does ask me to do one I feel very honored and will do the job to the best of my ability.  What I mean by that is I can only do the quality of work that is on the picture.  If you come to me with this fuzzy camera phone picture…do you really think I can do a good job with that?  No people I can’t!  I need a CLEAR picture (printed please) either a 4X6 or 5X7.  If you give me a fuzzy picture your portrait will be fuzzy.  Sorry folks!  Clear picture is want I need to give you my best.

This is a tribute to my father who would have been 61 yrs old on Jan 23, 2011.  He was murdered at the age of 32 and even though he is no longer here he has always been my motivation in life, My motivation to learn and grow through what I do. But in losing him I feel I gain something to sustain me in life, and that’s being an artist. And to see the same passion for creativity in my kids I have to nurture it cause I know he would have done the same for me.  Love you and miss you Pops

Sometimes its hard on my soul to do these RIP shirts but if this is how thay want to represent their family/friend then I want to give them my best.
