Are there any artists in forum land who have drawn, sketched, painted or sculpted coins?

My oldest son (13 years) likes to draw and is really quite talented. Looking at his drawings caused me to wonder if his old man could draw anything more than a stick figure. So I sat down with pencil and paper and drew a picture of the obverse of a 1965 Kennedy half. Kinda fun, however IMHO the finished product leaves much to be desired. My son looked at my drawing and said it was pretty good (not wanting to damage my ego?) but gave me pointers on various shortcomings (proportion, shading, etc,). I challenged him to sit down and draw the same picture (he typically draws Japanese Anime and I would like to see him draw a different subject).

I am now curious about coin related artwork. What comes to mind is photographs, drawings, painting and sculptures.

Many forum members devote time and effort to photographing their coins. The pictures of various coins posted on this forum are wonderful. The photographers could legitimately be considered artists.

How about the other categories? Are any forum members artists who draw, paint or scuplt? If so have you drawn, painted or sculpted coins? If so, please favor us with postings of your work. If not, consider giving it a shot. It would be interesting to see coins (especially classic coins that do not have dead presidents on them) portrayed in mediums other than photographs.

Forum member dcarr has done the original designs for at least a couple of
the state quarters (New York was one), and submitted drawing for others.

He has a web-site with lots of very cool stuff, but I don't have the link handy
at the moment.

Perhaps he'll chime in!
