Thank you all very much.

Do you use photo references as well as live sittings....or standings in this case. Hmmm? And.....I'm an old airbrush guy from way back.....did I see your work in Airbrush Action mag?
Sad to say it's all from reference. I usually work from 11pm-3am which makes it hard, plus paying someone to sit for me is not affordable at this point. My boss has been very cool about letting me do personal stuff at work, he even lets me take the pics at the shop. As far as the airbrushing, I only had a small thing in the 'reader's section' which I thought was bull****. They said my work was too risque. My best friend, Javier Soto, is an 'airbrush getaway' instructor, and he says the mag's publisher still mentions my work. Sorry, that's my bitterness showing. Don't feel guilty at all, i might feel like a Batman villain tho.

"Thankya" for sharing
Tee-hee-hee, you're corny and I like popcorn with butter.

the quality of your work changes the predisposed attitude that a valuable and "serious" portrait needs to be an oil painting. This work stands toe to toe with any opaque paint media.
That's one of the nicest things I've ever heard about my work, thank you.

I always hesitate to write in, because others express their admiration of your work so much better than I ever could.
Every comment is appreciated regardless of it's eloquence. I don't use that word many times.

Thanks again everyone.
