Hello, my name is Paul Shaw and Welcome to my website. About the Artist, where do I start?

I am a self-taught artist with no “formal” Art Training, so I can’t impress you with the
College Degrees or anything like that. I did take one Art class in High School if that counts and the rest is just from practice. I currently just use “regular” sketch pencils (2H-HB) for all my Drawings and I have recently began using Watercolor Pencils to add color to my work. I picked up Pyrography (Wood Burning) around 2000 and have began the journey of Airbrushing. One thing that I like to do with all my Artwork is put my initials into every piece. This initially started out just as a way to get the viewer to really look at the detail that was put into the work itself but now it has become a Tradition. So every piece I do will have a PS symbol in it somewhere.

I was born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Nicholasville, Kentucky. I grew up with the dream of becoming a famous Artist and having my art seen around the world. My first major piece I did was a “panther” wall mural on my bedroom wall. After high school, with various things going on in my life at the time, I joined the U.S. Army at the age of 18 in 1988 and it was “without a doubt” the best thing that I ever did. At that time in my life though, I just wanted to join, get the “College Money” for Art School/ College and get out. It sounded real simple at the time. But later and based off of my duty assignments, it was hard for me to get any type of Art Schooling due to “traveling” and various other things. (My hat goes off to the Military personnel “past and present” that have been able to further their education and get “Degrees” while still serving in the Armed Services, and especially now days.) Anyways that was the plan.....Join Military, Get Money for College, Get out after 4 Years. Of course, things never happen the way they are planned. (Not for me anyways, that’s “Shaw Luck” and their are to many examples to explain that here) Note to self ....I hope my Luck changes on this little adventure I’m calling Eagle Eye Artwork.

Now for what really happened...My first duty station was Fort Carson, Colorado where in 1990 I meet my beautiful, loving and caring wife Elisa (trying to get “points” here). But seriously, she has been unbelievably supportive in everything I have done, even though I aggravate her greatly and call her a Hillipino (A Filipina or Filipino with a “southern accent”). Together we have two great and wonderful boys. They are constantly bouncing off the walls, wrestling and arguing all the time, same as all brothers do, but she has raised them most of their lives because of all my traveling in the military and after. I left the Military in 1999 to work as an “instructor” for the Military. For 5 years after leaving the Military I traveled 90% out of the year and finally in 2004 was given the opportunity to “settle” down and finally call someplace home and be with the family every night. I took it and that is where I am now, with the Family.

Last but not least, I would like to thank my “travel family” and all the guys on “The “original” Team” and also thank and welcome the newer guys. Old guys, train the “new guys” right and remember “The wolf don’t make the Pack, the Pack makes the Wolf”, it's up to the team to train them to standard. Then everyone train the soldiers above and beyond the standard, their lives depend on it. And “WolfPack”, Guys we were, no are, the Best their was and ever will be. Last but not least remember, KWITCHA..............
