After perusing your profile and the Waichulis Studio website, I have come to two questions:
I have noticed that these pieces are rather small--is this to provide more time to focus on less space?
Most of these pieces seem to have a photographic likeness--at least when condensed onto a monitor--and if they really are not photographs and a photograph may have the same appeal, why render them in traditional media?

Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site Lucian. The images are kept small so they don't lag down the site. ---plus the images are more of a general showcase---as with most art forms like ours, the works are intended to be investigated and explored in person. With that said I plan on uploading a few "zoomed" pieces in detail. As for your second question I find it fun to have the ability to do some thing that it becoming some what antiquated. One may ask the same question "why learn a classical instrument when it is easier to download music?".

Well, I noticed that a lot of these, such as this one, are listed as around 9 by 12 inches. I find this to be rather small, since I've always been pressured to work large. In fact, I don't have a single piece that I put focus into that is smaller than 13 by 15, and I've worked up to 48 by 48 inches. Thus, my aforementioned question.
I see your point. I am also more so attracted to antiquated items: traditional media over CG, acoustic guitar over electric, pocket watches over digital, wrist-watches, for instance. Even so, some of these are attractions based off of versatility, as is the case with the acoustic guitar. Not only do I find that the tones are purer, but the build of the instrument allows for some unconventional manipulation, such as percussion, that is not as manageable with electric. So I was curious if there was a functional or worldly attraction to this media beyond the emotional pull you most likely experience.
