"Dedicated to Art and Free To All"

Why are so many of my paintings and drawings of celebrities?

Am I a celebrity fanatic? No, but it is fun to work on a piece and show it to friends and see if they can quess who it is. Additionally, most celebrities or famous persons have risen or fallen, whichever the case may be, to stardom or to fame because of some appealing or even appalling trait, talent, or quality which is amost always reflected in their face. And to study and try to find this certain, sometimes super subtle or blatantly obvious facial nuance or abnormality which defines them can be fascinating and a learning experience. So much for the small talk and excuse-making. Here's thirteen years worth of our stuff...
