Pamela Davidson 21 Nov 2007

Your an amazing portrait artist!

Constance Peck 21 Nov 2007

You truly captured the pain he must have been feeling..

ray ladbrook 10 Nov 2007

shows his pain. a great man. nice portrait.

Federica Bentivoglio 28 Oct 2007

wonderful portrait of a very important man. I like also a lot the choose of colours... great artwork!

John Green 27 Oct 2007

I remember seeing photos of Wayne at the time of his death. (1972?) This shows his haggard appearance well while still holding some life and dignity. I was and still am a great fan of Wayne. This is a side of all of us that we will face (pun intended)

Lin Withers 24 Oct 2007

Love this - big JW fan. Great work!

radfax radfax 14 Oct 2007

I like the use of colour here, though it looks like JW would have been pretty ill if he sat for this one, maybe that is how you pictured him the day before he died, looks pretty worn out. Though it's a great picture I like to think oof the man with, if not a bit more color at least a bit more life. Looks like he could do an guest appearance in Zombie flesh eaters lol. Still never the less a great picture.

Tom Schmidt 08 Aug 2007

Cool made! The way of cold colours! I like it very much! I think I have to work with this idea of colouring in one of my next pics!

Mandi Palmer 01 Aug 2007

This has to be a favourite of mine, we named our son Duke after him (he's now 6'8" lol) Wonderfully detailed piece :D

John Davis 05 Jul 2007

I have had breakfast with the Duke a few years back, what a man!! I was in the Navy SeaBees and he'd come to the base all the time to have dinner with guys. A grand picture of him, what wonderful work you do.

My husband loves Big John and I've watched many films with him in, he was one in a million. Excellent portrait, no room for mistakes with pen, very admirable work Jerry. I might give pen ago too, I've tried plenty of other media in the last year, why not, lol!

Really a beautiful painting and excellent capture of the face expression of the actor. Excellent technique. Congratulations !

Vessence 27 Mar 2006

Oh my word, what a perfect portrait! The shading is wonderful and the red toning is a fine finishing touch. Fantastic. My thanks for showing this work in your gallery and also I'm sure if my Dad were still alive he'd have appreciated this artwork very, -very- much. :)

Sara Deutsch 25 Mar 2006

Glad you chose to show him in his older years when the map of his experience is carved into his face...like the red tint..

Sisa Green 23 Mar 2006

This is awesome,you are like one of the best artists I have ever seen.The shading is great.

koy simmala 21 Mar 2006

Wonderful skill!

Nelly van Nieuwenhuijzen 14 Feb 2006

EXCEELENT WORK!! FANTASTIC, JERRY!!!

Jen Cruz 14 Feb 2006

Actually I've always thought old men looked rather ugly. I'm not all that sure who John Wayne is, either. But on the positive side, I'm honestly impressed with how well you managed to detail it and get it looking as realistic and attractive as it is. The red blush is a good touch, too!

Jeane Nevarez 13 Feb 2006

I can't believe you create all these artworks with just ballpoint pen?? It is amazing. I've never seen anything like it. I am astounded at the amount of detail and fine value control you can do. What is the size of these pieces? Are they very large?

Iain Robinson 13 Feb 2006

Great capture of the Dook. His eyes are so sad in this...such a lovely emotional tribute.

Alberto D'Assumpcao 13 Feb 2006

Splendid work, Jerry, and fantastic technique!

Kenzie Pedersen 13 Feb 2006

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! wow!!! keep you the magnificent work! I LOVE this picture! fantastic!

Steph Salt 13 Feb 2006

This is a truely beautiful portrait of the Duke, and the touch of red makes it really stand out from the crown Jerry. His eyes are wonderful and unmistaably his, so is the nose mouth and the left hand side of his face. But some how the jaw on the left just isn't quite right, unless this is taken from a photo, that was taken when he had lost a lot of weight due to the cancer? I do know that if I hide that part of his face, the rest ju7st looks like a photo it's that good. He was one of my favourites of all times :D

joan warburton 13 Feb 2006

Wonderful tribute portrait Jerry!

Joke Schotting 13 Feb 2006
