A place where I can display the many signed celebrity drawings I have done, and some of the experiences and replies that came along with them.

Byron Nelson, Golfer
Byron Nelson has been labeled by Golf Magazine as the 5th Greatest Golfer of all time. In 1945 he won 18 professional tournaments, 11 of those in a row- These two records still stand to this day. Those who knew him always said he had such a positive energy about him, which extended off the green as well. He retired at age 34, but remained active in Golf untill his passing at age 94 in 2006.
I started drawing "notable" people in 1993, when I was a senior in High School. I always draw two identical pictures, so the person can keep one. I generally always draw older people because I've always found them more interesting subjects (and they're more likely to respond). I would say my favorite ones are the people who aren't necessarily "celebrities" but circumstances caused them to be in the right place in the right time to have a place in History.
