Thank you, I'll sum it up in two things; Big, Contrast, when painting I like to paint big, for many years I painted and drew on A3 paper, when coming to the website, I either had to Photo my work or scale it down. Well for a while it worked, scaling down! but I paint at my best Big and for the site I paint A4. Then I scaled up a few and people liked them, so now! I paint a heavy contrast A4, some days none some days 10, I can average 1 every hour, but I've hit a bit of a block and since the Wesley Snipes painting. I'm forcing my self to stop and give my old bones a rest. But I'll restart tomorrow I've already planned a few.
I feel you are one of a very few real artists on this website..and I appreciate your complete answer..I can see you´ve painted many many persons...I would like to ask you something...do you paint only people you like or admire? or just anybody you haven´t painted yet ...because your colleciton is sooo wide...ooh..and you wrote you made some plans..i mean who to paint tomorrow...haven´t you already think about brandon boyd or gale harold? because mr.boyd is a man that i really like..for his all around abilities,his opinions and behavior...so i would love to see his face in your extraordinary style...
Thank you for your kind words I feel this site is full of very gifted artists who I respect and admire. They have taught me things and I hope my advise sometimes is good. As far as my choice of subjects I can be Influenced by say Films both New like The Dark Knight or Hellboy and older ones. I am a big child at heart so S/F is my passion. When I was young I read and drew many DC Comic and followed the Comic artists: Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Frank Miller. The styles of drawing and painting was excellent. The I came to admire Edgar Degas and other French Artists.

As far as who next I paint by inspiration not like if I dislike someone then it's good practice I I like them it's again good practice. I'm driven by originality, but I like doing My twist on say a pastiche basis (copying) and have no problem with being copied myself as I think it’s the greatest form of flattery. I love a challenge and have many in mind for the future. I have sometimes in the middle of the night absolutely absurd ideas which I n the morning I think how can I do that. Whether it be Rain falling or showering on a face. I have A MOTTO which is ‘I can’. I will paint both Brandon and Gale but when I don't know I’ll give you a comment when. Remember Practice.
