Yes, it wouldn't be hard to believe that someone with the technical skill exhibited throughout his website could rather easily translate it to other procedures, including life work -- which in fact probably seemed almost "too easy" to him. I had people like that around me at Daniel Greene's workshop, and it gave me pause to wonder if a brush handle could really be used as a weapon. (I was very insecure at the time.)
As a certified (nearly institutionalized and left for broke) aircraft aficionado and fanatic, full-size and models, I'd like to buy about half the works he has on that site.
Have to admit, though, that the hyper-detail in the airbrushed portraits still feels a little cool and clinical to me. I like to see bristles in play. This isn't peculiar to this artist, nor intended to be at all dismissive of him. Some traditional painters who take their work to the very highest levels of finish also have this effect on me, more and more.
Is anyone aware of a web page where we might see some of his life work?
