Christopher Hitchens

Author and intellectual Christopher Hitchens. He's a very prickly customer, but his debates are some of the most interesting. Watch as he makes Mos Def look like an ignorant fool.
There's plenty more of him on youtube, but be warned if you are sensitive.

This piece is painted similar to the way that I painted the Rachel McAdams image. A bit simplified with a "smoother" appearance.

Ferris Bueller color

Rough color application.

Sydney '09 Redux


My niece Sydney. I was never satisfied with the original (bottom) so I took some time to rework it.

Kennedy


Another niece, Kennedy. She turns 4 today, but these are based on her at 3. She has enough personality for two kids, so she gets two portraits. I did the ballet one first then painted the other one using the existing face.

Individual Tenenbaums

Here are the individual characters from my “The Royal Tenenbaums” illustration. The characters that were to go in the picture frames are less finished since they would be shrunk down. The Owen Wilson is from a drawing I did of him when I was in high school, that’s why it looks different from the others.
