Turner said he often does work at the request of fans, which includes many portraits of celebrity images. Hanging on the wall in his gallery space were life-like depictions of Marilyn Monroe, recording artist Prince, and a representation of movie start Robert Pattinson, as his character “Edward” in the Twilight film franchise.
“I do common people through commissions and draw animals, but people enjoy the celebrity pieces,” he said. “I find the hardest challenge is drawing the face, but it’s something I enjoy doing.”
