Libyan Man

Sick of painting Scarlett Johansen and other women I have been searching for a more interesting subject.
After painting (and prediciting) an apocalyptic image of Japan, i have stuck with the theme and painted something very current. Over the past week there has been lots of harrowing images of Libya as Gaddafi and the Rebels tear it to pieces.

For this image i showed the effect the uprising has on the average man. I picked my reference and set about shopping it.



Let me know what you think.

TAG Heuer Monaco Vintage Limited Edition

and going on from my last post...what a watch.



I thought i would have a look at how much i could get one for and a cool £3500 will get you 1 of 2500 made. It is a thing of beauty though.

I love McQueens view on wearing the watch.

To give added authenticity to the Porsche 917 Gulf driving scenes in the movie, McQueen insisted on wearing the Monaco chronograph because the just-out chronograph was considered the most authentic car-racing watch on the circuit. A sport and glamour legend was born

Steve McQueen - The king of cool

Saw a Tag Heuer watch advert with the iconic Steve McQueen in Le Mans as the main image.
I love that film, especially the opening sequence, no one can do silence like McQueen. In homage i produced this, tried to be really lose around the background and his overalls and focus tight in on his facial features.



and incase you have never seen it:

And another one...

I got into this and did another one at night. Just a simple black and white, learning the basics of simple shading, suggestion and tonal contrasts again. Really need to do some sketches now rather than just sticking to photoshop.

Portrait with new PS brushes

Been trying out some new brushes with my Graphics Tablet and overlaying them on some really well shot imagery. Here is one i knocked up on my lunch break.
