Grandma and Grandad + Video

These are my grandparents who love me very much and are eternal fans of my artwork

Spencer

Eleven

Stranger Things Millie Bobby Brown. One of the best sci-fi characters of our generation. In a world full of 10's...be an eleven

Mike and Sarah

"Parker’s portrait of my wife and I on our wedding day absolutely blew us away. It was a great wedding gift and even better alternative to the typical picture print out or picture canvas. Thanks!"

Ezra

Kids make fantastic subjects with energetic faces, eyes as big as pancakes, and never ending smiles (on good days, right?) Whether you have one, two, three, or even more little ones I'm more than happy to create a beautiful moment of this unique time in their lives. 

Will and Emily

“If my house was burning down I would grab this drawing... and my dog” 

"The Wolf" + Video

The Wolf

13” x 19” graphite

Fire towers are some of my favorite places to explore and create memories with friends. This is Wolf Mt. Lookout standing 107’ tall and is an unforgettable memory. Three of us ventured out into a snowstorm and ended up bivying under this behemoth . It was a long snowshoe and a long night!

I found the intricate structure incredibly tedious compared to the smooth and flowing nature of my usual portrait work. I’m proud of how it came to life.

Landon

This little one in a onesy might be the cutest thing i've ever drawn. 

"It turned out AMAZING! Thanks you so much!"

BB8 + Video

Retirement Gift

This is a large project at 16” x 24” and was a retirement gift for Jerry Regan who was a project manager for some very large construction projects in Portland, Seattle, and Singapore. The drawing is a selection of works that tells the story of his career

Mother Daughter

Carol is an amazing healthcare provider and agreed to do a work exchange for this portrait. One of my favorites

Washington Coast + Video

Drawing of Washington coast near Toleak Point.

Holly Beck

Portrait of Holly Beck

Geneva

Puckett Wedding

My old friend Max from college reached out for a portrait when he and his wife got married. Her hair braids are my favorite part of this piece but by far the trickiest

Moran Wedding

The humans look great but the puppy pulls this piece together ;)

Will and Julia

"Words literally cannot describe the feeling that we had when we saw Parker’s drawing for the first time…all we could say was, “wow.” The intricacy and detail of the portrait, when compared side by side to our original wedding photo, are almost identical. We have even had a few people see the portrait and not believe that it was hand-drawn! This is such a special gift that we will cherish forever."

 

A Good Boy

This golden has gone but he was young at heart up to the end

Tomaso + Video

Timelapse video of an adorable couple portrait drawing

Betty and Richard

This was a very personal drawing for my aunt Betty on behalf of her son and daughter in law.  I managed to make a composite drawing that included her late husband, Richard, in the image. It's a special image that spans generations and the lifetimes.

“Oh. My. God. I just got the picture. It is perfect.”

Maw Maw

This is a portrait of my grandmother, born Yvonne Francis Pedarre in New Orleans in 1922. She recently passed away at the age of 97 and this image is from a photograph my granddad had in his wallet since they got married. They were married for more than twice as long as I’ve been alive.

This is the one time i’ve really messed up a portrait and I’ll never forget their reaction! Turns out she never had short hair. It just appears that way in the photo. I wanted it to be a surprise for the both of them…and it was

Brittany and Tanner

"We love the drawing Parker made for us! It holds a very special spot above our bed so we get to see it everyday. Friends and family who visit think that it's a black-and-white photograph, and when we tell them it's a drawing, they are awed. The meticulous detail shows in every stroke, and it's clear how many loving hours were put into the artwork. It's a very special gift that we will cherish forever; truly beautiful in every way."

Hudson

This has to be my favorite pose from a subject to date. What a character!

Will and Emily

Will and I go way back from our time in the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugles Corps 05-08 and was so glad to do this when he and his wife Emily got married

Lilly

Sean Roberts + Video

This is an important piece of my cousin Sean, who passed away in 2011, and his brother Spencer. We all still miss him

Snider Wedding

Mike Wheeler

Stranger Things Mike Wheeler played by Finn Wolfhard. Walkie talkie extraordinair and the only thing Eleven likes more than eggos.

Kristin and Rich

Griffin

The son of Zach and Whitney Simms, Griffin is a cutie! Zach and I lived in the same dorm back in undergrad. Hudson, their first child is also another portrait on here. What a fantastic family
