From photo to portrait

The process

shray in osaka

  1. Shray wanted to capture his trip to Osaka, Japan. He was sure to share a bunch of photos with elements he wanted in the final piece.
  2. The theme was the spotlight is on him, and he's moving towards only good things.
  3. I used the color palette from a vintage Godzilla poster he loved. I also took the night sky as inspiration and hand-painted each sign, making them glow.

The process

father and son, kenya

  1. This painting was inspired by a trip to Kenya — a quiet moment between father and son that I wanted to remain in the mind forever.
  2. The color palette leaned more muted and earthy this time, with my signature pops of color woven through.
