My Painting
So far, the most rewarding projects for me are the ones in collaboration with other Steemians. I get a rise out of painting people I don't know and creating a story around it. I also think that the surprise and element of how one will react to a painting of them or a close friend is something that's priceless. Steemians create art, and I try to create art of art.

Naming Process
I decided to take a path to give the boy a name. Though he isn't scary like Danny can be in the Shining. I thought that this could be a good fit for a name and he has a similar haircut. This boy looks less troubled and more happy than Danny (thankfully). I love that with any black and white photo you can imagine the entirety of color, texture, context, and story. It makes it easier to color in the blacks so-to-speak.

Who am I?
I am an artist who finds portrait photographs of people on social media, paints them, and posts it. I love the reactions and surprises that it gives people. I think there's a sense of self-esteem boost when someone is painted (even when there are mistakes or it doesn't look identical to them). The goal of my art is to surprise and spread love.
