Commissioned art from Hive artist @takuri

A few months back I paid an artist that I have seen around the Hive blockchain to do some art for me. I know them from the OCD discord group and they have been a long time follower of mine. Seeing their work over time I thought it would be cool to get some art done for my Hive banner and make a new icon for my avatar. We talked on discord and I sent reference shots of my farm and surrounding area. They did a great job portraying it all in their artwork!

Its great seeing my solar panels in the pictures along with the foggy effect.. Its perfect and fits the environment perfectly. Many days we get fog rolling through the hills.

Lots of detail was put into the banner art, we can see all kinds of detail @takuri put in there. I keep finding new things they included in there.. like a bunch of easter eggs.

They took some pictures of my foreman found in my blog posts and drew him as well.. lol drunk passed out on the ground with liquor bottles strewn about. We can also see my tractor, barn area and with ducks and chickens hanging out.

A portrait was sent as well and they made an avatar for me. I really like how they did my hair. The hair line matches and my beard was all drawn well.

Amazed by the detail captured in my shirt. My friend started a company that sells car parts for Datsuns, had that shirt for a long time so glad I was able to get it reflected in the artwork. It is starting to fall apart, but it will now be forever immortalized in the artwork.

Thanks a lot @takuri for the art you made me, I would recommend them. It may take awhile to get the art, but well worth the wait.

Glad I was able to update my avatar, the one I had previously is the icon I have had since the first day on the Hive blockchain many years back.
