Beckett had striking face and eyes. I tried to reflect them in my work! :grin: :hi:

very very unique and amazing style.... specially the eyes... so impressive ... stunning Shahin.. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I leaved it unfinished so it seems he is welded to the background. :thumbup:

 jpoulos2561 - 16/08/08, 05:32 reply
I love this one...from your bookcover as I recall...Bullock and HB Carter and Eddie are fine too, but, I love this one of one of the great writers of all time :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 shahin - 16/08/08, 05:55 reply
Yes, he showed us grotesque aspects of modern world. I think visual fascination of this work is due to tight connection between face and the background. As if he appears from a flat surrounding and stares at us with his sharp eyes! :hi:

 jpoulos2561 - 16/08/08, 16:24 reply
with sharp eyes indeed...he seems to emerge from (or be swallowed by) a surrounding sea... :cry: :sweat: :hammer: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 shahin - 16/08/08, 18:22 reply
So he will not have enough time to find Goudo(if I don’t make mistake in spelling)! :D :thumbup: :hi:

 jpoulos2561 - 16/08/08, 21:05 reply
Close enough. Don't so many of us spend too long "waiting for Godot?" And on the other subject, I hope you can see the beautiful pictires of Persepolis. :oO:

 shahin - 17/08/08, 05:54 reply
Persepolis is a subject of inspiration for Iranian intellectuals. We use its architectural elements and also we use imitation of its relief and statues for decoration. Nowadays they are very popular! :grin:

While most of the others are smoothly gorgeous, this one is in a league of its own. Great textures and a really good decision to have the vignette approach.

 shahin - 05/10/08, 07:28 reply
He was exceptional so I prepared a special portrait for him! Thanks for your nice comment.

 Roger_Curley - 31/10/08, 02:38 reply
This is very striking. Love viewing all of your work. Roger C.

 shahin - 31/10/08, 06:52 reply
really thanks. :grin: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :thumbup: :hi:

 jpoulos2561 - 09/02/09, 06:52 reply
Wow. I say again...this one is reaaaally great! It is the example on the 1st members page...497 and counting!

 shahin - 09/02/09, 13:28 reply
Recently I read a collection of his letters is published! If I was famous as Norman Rockwell, this work probably was on the book cover! :guffaw: :guffaw: :guffaw: :guffaw: :guffaw: :guffaw: :wink: :hi:
