The story

He paints hyperrealism. The tiger is an extreme close-up, eye to eye, with the fur painted strand by strand. The original was a four-by-four-foot piece, and it sold for $5,000.
On Instagram he calls himself a storyteller through his paintings. He takes a limited number of commissions, from $2,500.
