Kory, told me I could offer Spurs pictures on the board, which I soon will be doing...here is a sample of some of my work.

That's awesome!

[marini martini]

Pretty kewl!

[dbrooks55]

What Spurs would you like to see? Besides the obvious Tim Duncan.

[spurs=bling]

Very nice :tu

[marini martini]

Anyone except the one in your sig

[midgetonadonkey]

Those sketches are incredible.

[Thunder Dan]

those are awesome, the Sean Payton one is the best IMO, it's dead on

[JoeChalupa]

Sweet. :tu

[duncan228]

Your work is beautiful!
Great talent!

I'd want Duncan but any Spur you do seems like it will be great!

[midgetonadonkey]

The texture created by the detail is fucking great. I keep checking them out and liking them more and more.

I usually don't like to start with the best player on the team, right off the bat. Rather do Parker or Ginobili, who's the more fan favorite?

Gino. A sketch of him driving to the hoop, holding the ball between his arms like a football would be cool.

[ALVAREZ6]

You have a lot of free time on your hands.



Seriously though, that's some of the best art work I've ever seen. :tu That's incredible skill and dedication...how long does it take on average to sketch one of those?

And to answer your question, do a Manu sketch.

Manu.

But get to Duncan fast! :spin

[2Blonde]

Those are most excellent. I draw too but it takes me too long to do anything for commercial work so mine usually get hung in my own home.

I'm not the best artist, but thank you for the compliment.

Vince Young took about 5-6 hours
Payton about 6 hours
Barry Sanders 6-7 hours
Brady about 6

these are just approx guesses

[dbrooks55]

I do other stuff, personal portraits...right now I'm working on a family portrait.

Here is one I did of my son a few (4 months back).

Almost all of my stuff is done in 11x14 inches in size, that is the size of the prints I get made as well!

They are all wonderful!

You should be very proud of yourself. Not too many people have the gift you do.

Thanks it is really nice and assuring to hear that sometimes, it is very stressful trying to get a business like this going.

You've got the talent.

Stay with your dream of making it a business.

There's stress with any job, anything worth while is worth pushing for.

At least you'll be doing something you love (and you're good at!)

[JoeChalupa]

I concur. You have a God given talent and should share it with the world....so it comes with a little price. :tu

[dbrooks55]

We have a 6 month old baby...he is part of the reason I'm doing this but right now the money is rough since I just started out. So basically I stay home to take care of him since my wife has great benefits. I want him to be able to say my dad doesn't have the normal job, but most of all we want to keep him out of daycare if we can...that is the goal for right now.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

How's about Ian Mahinmi?

[Clutch20]

They are so lifelike and seem to capture the essence of the subjects you've chosen!
Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.

[sabar]

Neat, ever thought of being a forensic artist?

[Pantera]

Could you do one of Dimebag Darrell?

[mrsmaalox]

Wow,what a great talent!

[dbrooks55]

Could you do one of Dimebag Darrell?
Could I...yes, Would I probably not unless someone was buying the original drawing.

[BacktoBasics]

How much for you to do one for me of Sean Elliott. How big are they?

[angel_luv]

Beautiful pics; you're an amazing artist.
I have a picture I may want sketched in the semi near future; am still brain storming.
If I decide to proceed, how much do you charge and what is the best way to contact you?

[Flea]

You have an incredible talent. Good luck!!

[peewee's lovechild]

Good work there.

Great job with the shading.
A million times better than that Napolean Dynamite guy.

But, seriously, that's some good work.

I'd like to see one done on Parker.

[florige]

Nice pics!!!! :toast

[The sone]

i like abstract...

[dbrooks55]

i like abstract...
I've never really got abstract...but it's a matter of taste.

[dbrooks55]

I'm starting work on my first Spur tomorrow...I think I've decided on Ginobili.

[Phenomanul]

Good choice...

[ALVAREZ6]

Good choice...I'll second that.


I can't wait to see the result.

[dbrooks55]

Man that penguin gif, always cracks me up!

[jaespur21]

Can u do a Sean Elliott drawin that would be nice

[dbrooks55]

Can u do a Sean Elliott drawin that would be nice
It looks like he'd be a popular choice...we'll see. I'll see how Ginobili goes, if there is promise there I'd consider...Parker, Duncan, Robinson, Gervin, and Elliott.

Any other nominations? This went over very well on saintsreport.com to date for that board I've done, Bush, Colston, McAllister, Brees, Sean Payton, & Arhie Manning. The first 4 are all sold out!

[MisterWhodat]

Hey guys, I have purchased all of the Saints pictures he has done, 7 so far, they are great, even better than the computer shows. I have framed all but the last three and I get compliments anytime someone comes in my office. I suggested he come try over here, and now it looks like I am going to have some bad-ass Spurs pics to put up somewhere as well.
