Honor Their Memory With a Portrait That Still Feels Alive
Some memories are too important to stay in a photo. I create permanent, hand-drawn graphite portraits so your loved one can still be seen every day.
FREE Portrait Review
Upload your photo and I’ll personally tell you:
• if it’ll make a great portrait
• what size works best
• if I recommend graphite or charcoal
• any problems with the photo
No obligation.
I only take on portraits I believe I can do justice to. If the photos won’t translate well, I’ll tell you straight.
[Form suggestion: Name, Email, Phone (optional), "Who is this portrait for?" (short field), Size preference (buttons or dropdown), "Briefly tell me what makes this person or pet special (optional — helps me capture the real feeling)"
A Second Chance With Every Stroke
I’m Danny. I learned to draw in prison, and art helped me survive some of the hardest years of my life. Today, I use that same focus and skill to create graphite portraits that help families hold on to the people they love.
My artwork is part of my second chance — and if you want to understand more about the story behind it, you can read my book here: dannyhornerart.com/house
These aren’t just drawings. They’re quiet, lasting tributes to the people who mattered most.

There’s no pressure or commitment — sending photos and asking about pricing is completely free. I’ll review your request and usually respond within 24 hours with pricing, size options, and the next steps.
A deposit is only required if you decide to move forward, so I can reserve your spot and give your portrait the time and care it deserves.
