Art portfolio pt. 1

All are originals by me unless I did a rendition of another artists (which would be listed). I don’t do digital art (don’t know how, so it’s all handpainted or made with broken vinyl records, nail polish, magazines from the 60s, beer labels—idk whatever I could find). But hey, now you have proof that one can technically claim drinking to be a hobby. 

William Schaff renditions done early 2010s by me 

Pen/ alcohol ink

Misfits poster style for my boss Kim at Smithfield Station (2016)

Boston terrier in OBX (used real beach sand on top of the paint, idk why I tried it, but it worked) memorial 2021

“Rockfish in chespeake bay” (for one of our cancer patients) 2022. We were actually on our way to make a house call to him (I was surprising him with it) and I left it on top of my car in a cigar box. Took 2 miles fly off and I heard it shatter by the welcome to Smithfield sign. We eventually found it and the box had been run over and destroyed. However, when my dad picked the painting up, there was not one scratch or piece of grass on it. I am certain it was a miracle. After the patient passed away, the family had it at his funeral. It was quite an emotional piece (as basic as it was).

Hooray for anx-Ty teen art yayyyy. 

Pieces I did for John over the years. He used to have them hanging over his desk at Nans and on his nightstand, next to the stack of mix tapes I’d make for him. It always made me feel pretty special.
