I strongly believe realism is the most impressive form of artwork we can do with pencil.
I am a realist, in that people say my ten minute drawings are "likenesses." Those drawings are not photocopies, however. Photo realism does not utilize any choice and little evidence of style. It denies the observer the use of his imagination, an important ingredient in drawing.

Do you want us to say you are a highly skilled copier? I will give you that.
