Dear Scott - conte crayon drawing of my college friend Scott Stapleton (artist, carpenter, and sculptor extraordinaire) shortly after his death.
Syd - drawn for my mother after the death of her husband (of five months) Syd Levine. -------------- courtesy Pat Clifton
Willie Nelson - commissioned by Randy Tuten for his poster. I never quite captured the likeness on this one. Very frustrating because I had planned to present the drawing to Mr Nelson but backed off when it didn't turn out up to standard. I colorized it in PhotoShop and tweaked it a bit for the poster; the poster's strong design partially masks the portraits shortcomings.
Willie Nelson (colorized) - this is how it looked after scanning and importing into PhotoShop for colorizing; once completed, it was 'dropped' into the Randy's poster.
