In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (15 Sept. – 15 Oct. ) I’ve added a photo gallery of my artwork pieces that reflect Hispanic Heritage.
Lou Jacobs
Black History Month
These are some of the portraits I’ve painted of prominent figures of African-American heritage for Black History Month.
The Flounder
This drawing is based on a book cover illustration that I saw many years ago (from the 1970s by author Gunter Grass). It took me about forty years to get around to drawing it, but here it is.
Saruman
Portrait of Christopher Lee as Saruman – from the film, Lord of The Rings (Based on the J. R. R. Tolkien Novel).
Emmett Kelly at VA Creative Arts Festival
My painting of Emmett Kelly won First Place at the Spokane VA Creative Arts Festival this year! I just found out yesterday that it won third place at the National Competition!

Charles Dickens
This is my latest digital portrait, Charles Dickens. Painted with Adobe Fresco on an iPad Pro.
Charles Dickens was a 19th Century Author. He penned A Christmas Carol and many other Victorian era novels, such as A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, etc.
Out of the Shadows
These monster portraits were done a few months ago for an art contest called, “Universal Monsters: Out of the Shadows” by Universal Pictures based on their famous monsters.
I painted these with #AdobeSketch on an iPad Pro #Halloween2021 #universalmonsters
Halloween Gallery
These are a series of portraits of famous monsters (and some not-so-famous) that I’ve painted for Halloween over the the past few years. Enjoy!
