Artist's Comments

Finally, I painted something and it came out halfway decent. This hasn't happened in a while. I actually REALLY love this, I think it's my best work in a very long time. Looks soooooooooo much better in person, but oh well, I'm not a photographer.

...There is no place I can go there is no way i can hide
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside...

*Edit, 16 March 2004: Fixed up his hair a bit and eliminated the mouth completely. It was giving me trouble, but that wasn't the reason for the elimination. I think it says more without the mouth. I've always had problems verbalizing my emotions, this is a representation of that.

**Edit, 7 August 2004: While at Pratt, I added more contrast in the hair and figure...

Very, very, very nice.

I love the lines in the neck.

The lips and mouth could be a bit darker, so they stand out more. (Again, they're a focal point.)

Your use of colors in this is fantastic (as always! :) ) I especially love how the red really jumps out. And the contrast of the cool colored tones in the body against the warmer ones in the hair is great.

I agree with magrittesbowlerhat that the lips and the mouth could be darker.

Great job!!! It really turned out nice

LOVE it. I'm a big fan of orange so I think this painting is super. Also the contrast and texture and shadows in the skin is beautiful, and my favorite part is the eye.

Yeah, I did this in about three hours and by the time I got to the mouth I was too tired to give a shit... maybe someday I'll fix it.
