Here are some samples of what he has done so far.
Portrait of Malala Yousafzai, a woman known for her education and women's rights activism in Pakistan. She survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban in 2012 and has since been nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. She was also the first recipient of Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize.
A commissioned portrait of Pope John Paul II
A portrait of Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole, a Hawaiian musician best known for his medley of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World"
A portrait of Maxi Jazz, the lead singer of the British band Faithless.
A portrait of Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk and anti-war and human rights activist. Martin Luther King Jr. nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967.
An unfinished commissioned portrait of a friend's son. But it's looking really good so far, and it's one of the first ones done in partial color.
I love the way these word art pieces look! I'm trying to get my husband to do one of our lizard Sydney, but he's had so many requests that it looks like that one will have to wait. And these portraits helped secure him a job teaching a portrait art class at our local community center! It's always nice to know that hard work and persistence pay off =]
