I'm impressed again. Despite having spent the last half of the '90s getting bladdered in the company of YBAs and Turner shortlistees, I can't draw for toffees.
Our Polish art master, Mr Krajewski, used to demand 'What is all dis shmellink, boy?' at my hopeless attempts to improve a charcoal still life by smearing the thing with my finger to blur my complete inability to render proportion and perspective. And I can't play the guitar, either.
Multi-talented, Nick.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pic, Nick.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the fact that I don't recognise the person, that's me totally humiliated in the art stakes.
ReplyDeletePossibly double-humiliated if everybody else recognises him.

I give in. Is it Harvey Keitel?
ReplyDeleteOK Mark, rising to the bait, I used this photo (+ a bit of licence)
ReplyDeleteMr R - seeing as how you are strong in the 3-D visualisation department, I guarantee I could teach you how to make good representational drawings in a single session
(the guitar may take longer, EK's the man for that)
Mickey Rourke?
ReplyDeleteI think I preferred you when you were humiliated ...
ReplyDeleteMickey Rourke! Fantastic!
