My passions in life are painting and also contact sports. Thanks to the U.F.C, MMA is a really big sport enjoyed by millions worldwide with an ever increasing fan base. A lot of my friends have asked me to do oil on canvas paintings for them as they cannot find any at a reasonable price. I have retired from my day to day job and decided to take this up as an occupational hobby. All the art I will sell will be the original piece and I will not sell prints. My oil paintings are on a 18" by 24" canvas and take me between 40 to 60 hours to complete. I have copied a couple of my heroes artwork such as Evan Shoman and Richard T slone.
