Blog / 2013 / Is Working from Photos Cheating?

July 1, 2013

I don’t like the idea of copying photos in paint—I’m not a fan of hyperrealism—but I talk about tracing in this video and using the grid method to transfer images in this one.

Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!

Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? Or perhaps you have a question about my art? I’d love to hear from you!
