Here's a new one I'm working on. He had such an interesting face and demeanor, after watching Steamboat Bill Jr. I really wanted to draw him. I love silent film stars, and other entertainers of that era. I sort of just want to leave this one as is, I like its simplicity and translucence but who knows. It is from a sketch turned digital, but maybe I'll make it into a painting instead. Next I want to do Josephine Baker. If I think of a few more maybe I could show them together somewhere. As far as modern entertainers I think I'll do Melora Creager, and possibly The Ditty Bops.

This is great. And Josephine Baker's body could go through such interesting contortions--she'd be a delight to draw. Regarding Keaton, have you seen him playing an old, faded version of himself in 'Sunset Blvd'?
I love your portaits... you seem to be fine-tuning your style, I love it! I will one day fill my house with your pretty pictures.
goood stuff! you can do this in paint. really. please do
JRSM- I have seen Sunset Blvd but no I have not noticed that! I will watch it again soon to see... Can't believe I didn't know! Thanks!
Ash- If you ever want a copy of something I'd gladly give it to you or print it.
He's one of the sad, forgotten Hollywood stars who comes over for the card nights.
