I’m in this painting!!!!! I’d have some sort of contest where the winner has to find out which person is me, but as I’m po’ folk, that ain’t gonna happen. 🙂

I’m the guy with the bald-spot on my head, lower left corner, next to the hairy, bearded blond dude. (Who is one of my best friends, Jerry Gordon Kohlbrand, but I’m sure he’ll deny that till his dying day 😉 )

Bryan is a talented artist, and frequently paints religious themes (mostly Catholic) as well as “geek” stuff like comic heroes, fantast literature and the like. From his Fine Arts America (FAA) bio:

“I consider myself primarily an illustrator. I never quite fit in with others, so I grew up isolated and found much of my comfort in movies, comic books, music, and books. My artistic influences include fantasy illustrators from the ‘Brandywine’ school of Howard Pyle to the best comic book artists of today. I get my inspiration from such widely diverse sources as the absurd, music, classic movies, myth, pin-up, fantasy literature, and my Catholic sensibilities.

More than willing to do commissions, I am adept at portraiture of people and pets, landscapes, painting buildings and other such standard fare. It is with greater pleasure that I use portraiture or landscape as a jumping off point for creating something more unique for a client according to the client’s interests…”

Bryan does commissions… perhaps if you’ve written a novel and need a good cover artist… contact Bryan! His Facebook Page: Portraits and illustration by Bryan and his FAA site: Bryan Bustard

Are you a creative Catholic? ""Building a Civilization of Love: A Call to Creative Catholics," is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone who is an alcoholic or addict? "The Sober Catholic Way" helps Catholics by describing the many ways in which their faith can assist in maintaining sobriety, and is a basic handbook on how anyone can live a sober life. . (Thank you!!)
