The majority of my portrait sketches are of people I know online. Friends from either MySpace or Fubar. I do the drawings from photographs (not ideal because quality varies, but I can't quite go and sketch them all in person).

I'll do one for pretty much anyone that asks. No charge, just plan on being patient.

I tried making a living as an illustrator at one time. It nearly drove me insane. I'd still like to try and get into the comics industry some day though. But it never really felt right making something I love a job. I prefer it to be on my own terms.
