ian's shop

i have a son who is trying to make a business of
house portrait drawing. 
ian moved to portland, oregon
a long time ago...
in the, is it eight? years he's been away
i've seen him twice.
only.
he does keep in touch, and lately decided to try
making a living from his 
amazing "hoosies".
                                       here are some of his most recent drawings:





in process:
 a note-tag for a bigger drawing

funky house of worship
 a place to play

if you like this work, ask him to show you his heart.
it's amazing!
his portraits have such soul and humor,
and sometimes 
a great, lovely sadness, 
like life.

  1. Ian's work is remarkable and wonderful. Our son moved to Kauai almost 5 years ago and we see him all too seldom.

  2. Really just meant to say that I'm in sympathy with the long stretches between visits with your son. The years fly past so quickly.
