Commissioned Painting of a Muscle Car (7/28/2021) - Personally I’m not a big car guy.

Mandalorian Painting with Autograph (5/19/2021) - I had an idea of incorporating an autographed trading card into one of my paintings.

The second drawing was … Continue reading "Two Unusual Star Wars Commissions"
