Small Portrait of Fei Fei Sun. 9x12 ink on Bristol paper.
I have made portrait drawings and painting of Fei Fei before and I will make a few more shortly. What makes her such an intriguing person is how little she actually does for the camera. I think of her posing (at least when I was photographing her) as difference between acting for film, in which subtle moves convey so much more, and acting for the stage in which actors must project large expressions and emotion to reach audience. With small shifts in expression and body movements she creates such graceful poses.
Small Portrait of Ginta Lapina 9x12 ink on Bristol Paper. Another one of my favorite Blonde on Blonde models. Ginta is a blast to work with. She has a great sense of humor and like many of the women I have drawn as part of this series, she is even more stunning in person.
I Can't Believe We Made A Deal With The Wrong Aliens. 9x12 Ink on Bristol Paper.
After listening to the audio book of Milton William Cooper's Behold the Pale Horse I understand the rhetoric of Tea Party and the Men In Black Movies. I still can't believe the US made a deal with the wrong Aliens.
Ink wash Portrait of Stephanie Shui. 9x12 ink on Bristol Paper.
This is from casting shots I took of Stephanie a year ago. Beautiful, funny, and down to earth. I love her eyes and dimples contrasting the strong edge of her chin. She is also very talented abstract artist. Check out her work on her website: http://www.stephanieshiu.com/
MC5's I Want You Right Now and the Wild Ones' Wild Thing (covered famously by the Troggs) is the same song with different Lyrics. 9x12 ink on Bristol Paper.
I know the grammer is off on the piece, I believe I corrected it above. I stand by my statement. Love these bands.
No 70 Yuka Fukuda and Adam West Mural. 9x12 Acrylic on Paper. (This image is cropped in detail of the original).
Not really SFW, I am posting a crop of the newest painting. This was commissioned over year ago by my good friend Gloria Noto. I can happily say that I needed that much time to get my skills up to par to make this painting for her.
Stella Stella. 9x12 ink on Bristol paper. I always wanted to make a video with a Marlon Brando impersonator yelling Stella! In front of a Frank Stella.
Small Portrait of Linnea Regnander in fittings. 9x12 ink on Bristol Paper.
Linnea is another classical beauty. Face that Frederick Lord Leighton would have painted. Strong bone structure with soft features. Every elegant and athletic in her movements. A nice balance between confidence, femininity, and carefree.
Nimue Smit waiting for fittings. 9x12 ink on Bristol Paper.
Her beautiful large doe eyes and naturally rosy cheeks give Nime a porcelain doll appearance but beneath that exterior is strength, beauty, and little boredom between fittings.
