I couldn't resist! The boy is stunning and I'm about to hit my insanely, hectic time of year where I'm lucky if I have time to breath. So I took advantage of a couple hours free time while my students had ACT testing. It's mixed technique - pen & ink (stipple, line weight and solid painted ink)

Great Portrait, Brooke!H. Harper 22 Feb 2006
something about this picture seems truly moving. the dramatic use of light, perhaps. i really like this portrait, the shadows on the face and the expression, it all plays in so well for a beautiful picture.Jonelle Gibson 22 Apr 2005

Wonderful ink work!jane diamond 20 Apr 2005
Great portrait - love the job you did on his eyes, and hair, and I like the high contrasts too. Strange thing is, when I saw the title of the piece, and the image, my first thought was - I think I knew this guy. Do you know if he was from Chicago at all, I think I knew him many years ago. It was a guy Gene (same spelling, looks just like your portrait, and he was in a band, but I don't remember the name of it) Anyway, regardless, great piece, fantastic ink work!Marilyn Comparetto 20 Apr 2005
