"The portrait was amazing!!!  Rich's family was overjoyed as were the rest of us who came to know him.  The quality of the work you did was second to none.  Thank you for taking the time and putting forth the obvious effort to complete the day for us and provide us with something very special."
Sincerely, Jamie Hart

"Not a day goes by that I do not look at, and enjoy this portrait. This was a once in a life time expense that I would endure, and have found it to be worth every penny spent. There is not a single picture hanging in my house that I enjoy as much as I do this one. Again, after a year of enjoyment, I want to thank you for a wonderful family keep sake."
Sincerely,
Denise C. Canter

"We can not tell you how much we LOVE the portraits of Madison!  As you said, they are more beautiful in person.  Thank you for helping us to make this a most special Christmas gift and hopefully, we will have several more in the near future to order. You are the BEST deal around...that's for sure and you make it so easy. Thanks again, Jerry.  Merry Christmas to you and yours."
Judy Martelli

"I do not have enough adjectives in my vocabulary to tell you how wonderful, fabulous, perfect the portrait of our kids is.  I do not recall ever being so moved and crying so much for joy. Thank you for helping make this a fabulous fifty for me."
Sincerely, Amy Makson

AJ is already a respected artist who specializes in painting scenes of fishing and fishermen. In addition, he's internationally known for his large scale mural designs..

His client list is impressive and includes the likes of Walt Disney, Starbucks, Dan Marino, ESPN, and many other notable companies and individuals.

His extensive background in both graphics and fine arts made TruPaint a natural fit for his long-term goals.  He was recently approached to paint portraits of all of the NASCAR race car drivers and his continuing devotion to capturing the artistic side of sport fishing will be expanded.

While AJ's home territory is in America's heartland, it's clear that both his ambition and talent will garner him a far wider audience.

He completed the TruPaint Course in April 2006.
