Wehrle Portraits--Skilled Pencil Portrait From Your Photo

Joe Wehrle, Jr. has created pencil portraits for over thirty years. He is noted for work in Galaxy and IF digest science fiction magazines, covers and interior illustrations in Arkham House and Mirage Press books, illustrations for Burroughs-oriented journals and on a lighter note, the story and drawings in the Big Little Book Cauliflower Catnip.

Here's a recent self-portrait of the artist. The original is done in black Prismacolor pencil on coquille board that measures 7" by 10". Coquille board gives a wonderful texture to the art, better seen in real life versus online.

He enjoys blues and jazz music and plays guitar, saxophone and clarinet when he isn't searching for Edgar Rice Burroughs, Sax Rohmer and Buck Rogers collectibles on eBay. You can learn more here.
