*MY BRAND PROMISE*
I am an award winning, U.S.-based artist, hailing from Kansas City, MO, who personally creates every painting in my studio. Unlike many others who outsource their work, every piece I offer is painted by me, Deante "Deecor" Howard.
Each portrait is carefully hand-painted in acrylic paints and acrylic markers, then varnished to protect the painting. This is true, handcrafted art made to stand the test of time.
I stand behind my work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I use archival-quality materials to ensure your art remains vibrant and meaningful for generations.

*GENUINE HAND-PAINTED PORTRAIT*
No A.I here. Every painting I create is hand-painted using premium acrylic paints, a difference you can see and feel. If you're searching for authentic, handcrafted art, you’ve come to the right place.

*HOW I PAINT*
I use a technique that emphasizes energy, texture, and emotion, allowing each brushstroke to tell a story. My process ensures that the details of the artwork reflect the vibrancy and authenticity of the subject, capturing their essence in a truly unique way.
I paint on high-quality, primed canvas, using material that ensures the longevity of the piece. Every stroke jas a purpose, drawing from years of skill and practice, to deliver a museum-quality portrait made to be treasured.

*WHICH PHOTOS WORK BEST*
I can work with a wide range of photos, including selfies, family pictures, or even action shots of your favorite athletes. The key is a well-lit image with clear details, especially around facial features. Not sure if your photo will work? Send it to me, and I’ll gladly provide feedback!

*CHOOSING THE SIZE*
Each painting can be tailored to your vision. Whether you want just a face or a full upper-body portrait, I’ll work with you to find the perfect size. Reach out, and I can create a mock-up to help you visualize the final piece.

*HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?*
From the time I start your piece, it typically takes about 1 week to complete your portrait. When i start, depends on how many projects are ahead of you at the time your deposit is paid. Since I handle all painting personally, my schedule can fill up quickly. If you’re working with a deadline, let me know—I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs.
