Just in case he doesn't want the added publicity I won't name him. (I think those who have joined MyCollect will recognize him.)
Here is a sample of his artwork.
(Can you guess the real coin from the pencil/charcoal drawing?

The drawing looks better than the photo.
I haven’t figured out how that website works. Maybe it is like twitter or something but I don’t do any of those websites. I’ll play trial and error eventually
Setting up and logging in is about the same as Facebook.

At a glance it seems like FB. I know there's a lot more there but like JimTyler I'll play trial and error with it eventually.
I don’t do facebook
Yep, drawing is better than the actual coin. Cheers, RickO
I have several of his drawings hanging on my office walls, fantastic artist!

I’m pretty sure he posted here and IG a year or two ago. If it wasn’t him it was someone doing the same kind of quality coin artwork. He has a commercial website for his work, including work being commissioned.

He had his wares and studio at the CSNS show in the cheap seats. I assume he'll also be at ANA. The drawings are incredible.

That's who I figured this was, and he is an accomplished numismatist in addition to being an amazing artist.

Here are two of the drawings I have that he did. As Sean noted he is also a collector and I also purchased two wonderful Lincoln's from his collection. Sorry about the bit of reflection on the bottom drawing.

The work is lovely. Thanks for posting.
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
To clarify, he does commissioned works?
Yes

He had a great deal here on the BST around Christmas time for his prints. I bought two of them and they are really quite incredible.
