Pencil portraits
Albea's specialty
He's not Da Vinci or Van Gogh,
but he is proud, nevertheless, of his
ability to draw and create his own
kind or art.
He's Greg Albea, and for most
of his life, which is not a very long
time to some of us (he's 27 years
old), he has used his eyes and
hands to create beautiful things on
paper.
For right now, he calls his gift a
hobby, doing portfolios here and
there, a sketch or two of a loved
one or a favorite pet for a little
money on the side.
He says, "I enjoy portraits. Its
what comes easiest to me."
Albea estimates that he first put
his talent to work at the age of sev-
en. "The first picture I ever recall
doing is Goofy, and my mom
(Louise Moore of Boiling Springs)
still has the picture," he says. He
said since feeling the proudness
and all the good stuff that comes
with an appreciation from such a
gift, he decided he would keep do-
ing what made him happy - making
others happy with his art.
He getgimany requests for pen-
cil portraits. Just this past
Christmas, he completed around 84
of these pictures. However, his
side job has proved to be one that
is somewhat seasonal.
The portraits take anywhere
from two to size hours to complete
- a project that keeps him pretty
busy for most of the day.
Amazingly, with no formal
training, Albea has been assigned
to numerous types of odds and
ends art jobs. He has designed
over 20 tattoos and is working on Call 24 HRS/DAY,
one now. Also, he has painted mu- S/WE
rals and business signs. But his fa- . TDAY EK
vorite medium is pencil. z - - -

What is the strangest request * Madu Bika Wo. 2 wablem!
that Albea has ever fulfilled? "A |, gow credit:
dancing pig with a jacket," he
laughs.
Albea says that becoming fa-
mous is not a goal of his. "I really
don't care to be rich or famous, just
successful at what I do." That's
known by word of mouth.
He says that he is going to take
his art one day at a time, and
maybe one day he will have the re-
sources to have his own shop.
When he is not drawing, he is at
work at Eaton in Kings Mountain.
Albea is a forklift operator.
In his spare time, he enjoys
playing with four-year-old son
Elijah, fishing and playing golf.

artist Greg Albea does, give him a
call. His number is 480-8734.
