Default After 2 years

I’m going own a original art work from Winston Smith and the best part is he gave me all rights to use the image to benefit my daughter’s recovery.For those that don’t know my daughter was hit by a SUV on November 28th and she’s in rehab.

If things go alright for her next surgery she will be home next week.The best part is he’s donating it to me and some day Dakota will own this.Hear is a link to Bio if anyone wants to know who he is.He’s not super famous but his career is impressive for what he has Accomplished in life.

I know we talked and he told me Image Comics used his likeness in one of there earlier comic runs and he’s also did a front cover for CaliExit at at the 2016 San Diego Con.

Winston is my daughters mentor threw emails and text and his knowledge of art is overwhelming and it’s nice to understand some of the stuff he explains to me while other times it’s Overwhelming.

He’s pretty wild with his artwork but others times he shows compassion with his art.Glad he’s been apart of my family and I’m total speechless with his kindness.

I have a 9 month old daughter, and can only imagine how traumatic that would be if she were in an accident.

The art is outstanding and I wish for a total recovery for your daughter.

Well Winston couldn’t find the original that was used at my daughters benefit and after months of going back and fourth we agreed on one and I just received it.

Its nice to know a artist that will have a conversation with you about every day life .We talk more about that stuff then we do about his art work or conversation about art In general


He has told me some interesting things about George Carlin that I didn’t know about.
