I am a professional artist & Master Penman. I work in several different mediums & combine old-world techniques with contemporary themes.

I carved this cradle for our first baby out of basswood. The rocking mechanism is driven entirely by magnets, which makes it perfectly silent. We are now expecting our fourth cygnet, so the swan will sail yet again!

My calligraphic word study of “Gratitude” after the style of George Bickham. So much to be grateful for this season! 🙏🏼

This is my “Hallelujah” word study. It will be printed in two tone gold foil. Available soon on my website!

First wing carved for the helmet! 👍🏼

When progress is slow, it is good to look behind now and then and see how much ground has actually been covered.

[Jake Weidmann @JakeWeidmann]

There will be several pieces of this carving and each one will have its challenges. Than helmet was a particularly fun challenge to tackle!

I work on details so small that it’s not uncommon to find me wearing magnifying glasses as I work. 😂 And while this level of detail may seem overboard, I see it as the the things that create the whole and... https://t.co/jU13iUWACA

I have a habit of picking up art forms (if you've followed me here for any length of time, you know this)! My most recent art form is hand engraving and it has been a challenging art to dive into but oh, so rewarding (on various... https://t.co/cEQWNs8EHk

One of my largest oil paintings entitled “Ascension” is a great example of how I incorporate traditional calligraphic flourishing in the context of my fine art. (Swipe left to see more progress shots of this... https://t.co/beohVg8V6o

I can tell you that not a lot of people my age think about legacy. This is where I find most commonality with men in their 50’s and beyond. ⠀

One of the hardest things about being an “established” artist is going back to square one and learning a new skill. I will never reach mastery if I am not a student continually. #keeplearning #keepgrowing

I'm putting a modern spin on "writing an icon" in my single-line portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr. Watch the time-lapse progression of this piece from beginning to end.

Using only one of his handmade calligraphy pens and an inkwell, Weidmann draws these portraits in a continuous line. The flexible pen point of the nib creates a natural pressure system which gives the line varying... https://t.co/7fogTGbmDi

Sculpture is such a powerful art form because a single piece seen from so many different angles has a totally different impact on the viewer. A good painting or drawing can draw you in but, a sculpture breaks into the 3rd dimension to fill our shared space with beauty.
