Finley's Custom Drawings Shop

So this past weekend was a busy weekend. First, I opened up a Posters, Pictures and Portraits shop in the living room at home.

 Then I had people come by the shop and request custom drawings. Mae was my first customer. She asked me for a set of fairy drawings that she could put up in our room, so I went to work... and didn't stop for three days.

But in the end we had a collage of fairies that were all to Mabel's liking, each one carefully selected by Mae because they all had to do with things she liked.

Mabel the Ice Skating Fairy

Mabel the Teacher Fairy

Mabel the Sports Fairy

Mabel the Zookeeper Fairy

Mabel the Midnight Fairy... I think this one is because she likes to wake up in the middle of the night a couple times a week and go into Mom and Dad's bed.

Mabel the Pet Shop Fairy because everyone knows how much Mae loves animals.

Mabel the Flower Fairy

And finally, Mabel the Biking Fairy. We covered this HERE when I told you about how Mae can ride her bike one handed while whistling and even Eli and I can't do that.

So that was that. A lot of hard work and I wouldn't say for nothing because you should've seen the smile on Mae's face when I finished and we put it up in our room over her bed.

I did take a break on the fairy collage, though, when dad came through as a customer. He asked me to draw the cityscape of Chicago. I ran and grabbed the iPad, Google-Imaged "Chicago" and found a picture that I could work from, and voila!!

Mae set up a drawing school near my shop and has been doing some drawings as well. Once she completes a couple more I'll come back and showcase hers as well.

For now, if anyone has any requests for any posters, pictures or portraits please email my dad and let me know and I'll draw one up and ship it to you.

Portraits of a Cheetah

The Art Museum called and they want to put this collection in their new wing, I told them no. Artists are more infamous when they are unknown, whatever that means.

And now I give you... "Portraits of a Cheetah."

By the way, didn't want to wash this face paint off that Miss Stace put on me so I kept it on for three days... now I have an interesting rash on my grill.
