History, Hard Times, Recovery, Life, Love, Laughter, Heart breaks, Death, and Passion. Please Submit your Photo to Dedoartart@yahoo.com and please no photo's that are taken by people that didn't give permission to have their photo used. Dustin Rankin has been creating artwork for over 10 years. He studied painting at San Francisco Art Institute and Sierra College. His work has been published in newspapers, paper books, Galleries all around CA, and has won artist of the year. To Dustin paintings are a window of creating the perfect story told in one image, that later can be used to create a unique animation transforming the single image into a fluent solid story. Who knows you could be selected to be in one of his short animations. In each painting I strive for a sense of color harmony to compliment a strong design element. It is foundational that each portrait represents an accurate likeness, but it is equally important that it is a stunningly beautiful work of art. Depending on the portrait size it could take up to 8 hours are a few weeks. It involves taking risks with colors, fabric and the right brush strokes. Patterns can change everything in the eye of the portrait. Each time I paint, I know something new and wonderful is waiting to be discovered. Every day I wonder what I will learn and where it will lead me. I hope in return my portrait will inspire and keep young artist motivated to keep working on there talents during these hard times.
