Pollard's volume of art in the past seven years came after a five-year period when he stopped drawing after the death of his grandmother.
The artist has worked in a variety of mediums — pencil, graphite, and acrylic and oil paints, among them. Last year, he began using ultraviolet paint with a black light, and he'd like to try air brushing. Pollard, who grew up near 40th Street and Arlington Avenue, has seen his work become more realistic over the years.
While the artist takes all kinds of commissions, he makes sure to show a few of his favorite topics in art shows. One of those is his daughter, and Pollard points to a particular piece that encompasses three of her life stages with the last being a more recent portrayal.
