Brandon Davis Jennings is an artist, author, illustrator, animator, and Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran from West Virginia.
As a second-generation military kid (at least), and someone who served in the USAF himself, his work is often tied to military service. His current project is a series of paintings about children and war.

I aim to humanize veterans and their families with paintings that illustrate the beautiful and the ugly, striving to honor the fullness of subjects’ lives rather than reducing them to isolated moments of triumph, sadness, shame and loss. Although I want each piece to say something powerful on its own, I don’t paint people as perfect. Painting perfect people would make aspiring to be like them a waste of time. The greatest among us have flaws, and what makes heroes inspirational is that they are heroic despite their flaws. I paint flawed heroes, that way everyone might see they too can be heroic in any given moment regardless of their past decisions.
Pricing:
My base price (as of February 2024) is 3 dollars per square inch for original work. For commissions it will depend upon a number of factors that I can’t possibly account for with a simple formula. But assume at the very least a commission will cost 30 percent more than any of the original artwork for sale. If those prices do not work for you, at some point I will have prints available and sketches and so on. Obviously I want to make sure that people understand that I am grateful that they admire my work enough to be interested in purchasing it, but I also have to make sure those admirers are aware that my time is not free; I cannot give my art away for free. Please, if you have any questions about commissions or originals or works in progress do not hesitate to email me. Thanks for your interest and support.
