I got the idea for this present after looking at Michael DiMotta’s website. Micheal is a fellow MICA student who creates some amazing illustrations. As our children grow up my wife constantly recounts her childhood years looking for similarities. She always described herself dancing in her room so I decided to commission a portrait of her doing just that.
I started this process by rounding up some photos from my mother-in-law and sending them over to Micheal.
He then sent back a rough sketch
and then the final line work
with only a few minor edits along the way we had the final
I received the final digitally so I sent it to severn graphics for printing. I had them print a Durst Lambda with a matte finish that they mounted on gator board. After I framed the art I had to wait untill Christmas…
