Children’s Portrait 72- V

 

This is V who I also painted as one of the gift tier’s for my “Art of Rob” book commissioned by her Mama. I don’t have much of the process for painting this one but still dig how it came out.

What are these? These are children’s portraits I paint custom for aunts, uncles, moms, dads, care givers, families and more. I’ve been painting them for nearly a decade. They’re fun to paint and unique ways of giving someone a gift. Although the majority of these are of children and families, I paint young adults and adults too.

Children’s Portrait collage (4) – 2017-2020

Here’s the latest collage of children’s portraits. This collage spans from 2017-2020. I definitely slowed down a bit on these portraits recently but I’m gaining steam again. These are one of a kind, hand painted portraits that I started painting in 2012 to put out the word that I was working on a children’s book. 8 years and 8 published kids books later and I’m still painting these. And having fun with them since they help me sustain myself as an artist and they provide a service to you. People have commissioned these for parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, partners, and friends. 
If you’d like to commission one for yourself or as a gift to someone, follow this LINK
Thanks in advance!

Check out some of the collages from previous years.

Children’s Portrait 57 – Walker

Here is the latest children’s portrait. This one for my good friends Melinh and Malik. This young man is Malik’s son and Melinh’s step-son. He’s in college now and a man. It was really fun painting him, trying to capture his smile and warmth. Love his wild hair!

Switch Plate Throwback

Peace fam, for all those reading this and for those who keep coming back I appreciate it. I’ve been running this blog since 2008. Here is one of the projects I did in 2011-2013 that brought me a lot of joy and which people also loved. It wasn’t lucrative, but it fed me. Switch plate covers! These are tiny ways to decorate your home, office, or classroom. I plan on doing these again and selling them individually as gifts and possibly as larger paintings and prints.
Stay tuned here and on my shop. Here’s another one from the past below.

Children’s portrait 44 – Zulu

I don’t know this young man personally but this was one of the portraits commissioned awhile ago for a kickstarte campaign I ran. This and a copy of my book was a gift for the contribution.  If I recall though, this little one is both Chicano (dad) and African American (mom). His name? I’m glad you asked! He was named after the Zulu Nation (Hip hop community started in the BX, now world wide) and the legendary Shaka Zulu.
If you or someone you know is interested in commissioning a portrait of a child, please tell them to email me at info@robdontstop.com or check out my Etsy page for rates.
