The Portrait Art Gallery features alternative portraiture of individuals and groups. By alternative portraiture I mean portraits that are created in non-standard and unexpected styles. If you are looking for traditional photorealistic portraits, I'm not your artist. Rather, I create portraits in a wide variety of styles primarily as means of exploring novel digital painting techniques. Subjects for my portraits range from the human to the non-human, from people I know to fictional beings.
For information about commissioning your own digital portrait, see Art Commissions. Note that some of the thumbnail images below have been cropped for presentation purposes.
In addition to the main portrait gallery, I have created the following sub-collections based on subject:
Astronaut Gallery |
Robot Gallery |
Eye Gallery |

What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
