[PacificPastime]

11:05 Hey I almost bought that thing on the left at Ikea! REALLY nice painting! Also, couldn't you have just printed out the actual photo of him on the canvas instead of the drawing?

[kazanjianm]

@PacificPastime Hi Nicole. Yes I definitely could have printed out the drawing. Most often when I use the printer, I make a photocollage with Paint Shop Pro, print, then touch it up with oil paint. ........LOL with the IKEA....Notice that the "organizer" is EMPTY. My wife gave it to me, but soon realized that paper organization is an impossible battle for me to win! I guess that it is still there for aesthetic reasons!!!! :)

[videocriticbitch]

@PacificPastime then he woulnt be as involved it was HIS drawing HE painted over lol makes it his art not a paiting over top of a photo..

[PacificPastime]

@videocriticbitch it could be, look at andy warhol.

[Death82]

@PacificPastime that would have been cheating :D

he likes to actually work for his subs
