As some of you guys know, I am an artist. Lately, I have been doing portraits of fighters. Another poster here commisioned me to do a portrait of Mike McCallum. I did it and actually got to give it to the man himself in person. He was more than pleased with my work. Word spread and now I will be starting one of/for Duncan Dokiwari (as soon as we can get ahold of each other). So in my downtime I've started doing some 8x10's of different fighters to get my portfolio going.
So Here is what I have so far. (I will be adding all new photos to this post to keep them in the same spot)
Picture of Mike McCallum and some goofball (me) holding his Portrait at Top Rank Gym.

James Toney (Early in his Career)
Tommy Hearns
And Mike Tyson
Jake Lamotta (1/10/08)
Marvin Hagler (1/14/08)
All of these 8x10s are sketches basically and were done with graphite pencil on 80lb sketch paper.
I will update this thread every week or so with the new work I have been doing. I also have a Myspace where I can post and promote my artwork for free right now.
Here is the link for that:

Let me know what you guys think and shoot me some feedback.

Side note: The POS scanner I have really lightens up these pics.
