Jesse - the man, the myth, the dog portrait painter

Jesse has put up a few listings for custom dog portraits on our Etsy page. He has done many in the past and does an excellent job. Of course, it doesn't have to be a dog portrait. He can also do cat, bird, horse, llama, squirrel, bunny, bearded dragon...
In 2005, he graduated with a Bachelors degree in Fine Art with an emphasis in drawing and painting. He usually does oil painting, but has also done acrylic and watercolor, and he's been known to make sculptures, miniatures, jewelry, and of course Halloween decorations/props.
Jess likes to make his own beer and mead and made all the alcohol for our wedding in 2009.
Here is a few examples of the custom paintings he's done:



Jesse works really hard on all his projects and it shows. He can be a perfectionist. I think the puppies look so real, like they might just jump out of the canvas and give you a big wet kiss, yet he manages to give it an almost surreal or whimsical quality. Visit our Etsy page to see more :)
