Painted to your size
Made to Size
Hirowill paint a new original at the size you choose. Each piece is a one-of-one, marked as an Artist's Variant on its COA.
How Hiro works
I draw on toned paper so the highlights become a subtractive act. Building, erasing, rebuilding — the drawing usually improves twice and collapses once before it settles. I prefer willow to compressed because willow is easier to argue with.
