First commission proper
There was a bit of back and forth via e-mail with his partner Jill. We finally decided upon 3 images of Darth Vader giving the impression that his head was turning when viewing these side by side.

The obligatory first post
The internet as I know it today was nothing like this when I graduated from art college all those years ago. I had a spell of 2-3 years doing commissions and trying to sell paintings in a few galleries. But it sadly didn't quite pan out as I had hoped.
For the last 10 years I have been working as an artist in the video games industry. It's not all been bad and it has allowed me to achieve my main goal in life. Now that has been achieved my desire to get back into traditional art has been re-ignited.
For the last year or so I have been hoovering up an amazing selection of images of representational art (mainly from American artists) and I have been inspired to create art again.
However in a twist of fate one of the first images I did in my traditional art Renaissance has opened up a very unexpected path. So with a bit of hesitation I have decided to grab this opportunity and run with it.
I am at the start of a new art journey and this is the image that started it off.
