S/N lithograph of original graphite (14x16)-- Print size is 14x16.......
This is a photo of the actual print-(strike plate is now destroyed 15/400 remaining)
I just spent the past half hour browsing through your work & I have to say that I am astounded at the variety & skill you have. I have a million questions & yet, right now my mind is blown. Awsome
The amount of detail you put into your drawings isundescribable! There's attitdue and I wonder what his story is...Awesome work!!!! You're unbelievable!
Kathi just made me feel old :( I used to watch all his movies but I didn't think that it was that long ago LOL.
Boy....... isn't it weired when you realise so many years have gone by, anyway love the artwork, very good indeed, all the very best from Keith n Kay at www.falconian.com.
Well Sher, I'm really glad I took the time to look through all your work today, It's all very very wonderful and you are a very talented artist. Thanks so very much for sharing your work.
For all his popularity, John Wayne's face was the toughest celebrity face to draw. I've seen hundreds of bad renditions. This one is really good. VERY good!
Wonderfully graphically perfect image..very expressive and very dramatic. Your portfolio is very beautiful and very distinctive. I can see that you are a very accomplished artist.. Great work
Artist Reply: I'm trying out the new reply feature maggi...youre my first : ) Thankyou so much for the wonderful comment... it was a nice way to begin my day... i will certainly be giving your portfolio a visit : )
AWESOME......if the company in Germany that wants to sell prints of my work is for real, I'll send you thier webiste and email. You need to be sellign posters and prints of your work, if you arent already doing it.
Thank you very much for your comment. I like your work. My favorite are the smooth-tone drawings! I like this one the best. You did a great job with his wrinkles and hair and the values.
Absolutely cracking image Sher.Wish l could afford it,as l would as he was,and is a real icon to me.His face is depicted so well by you.Weathered.+++++10
Awesome detail! He looks like he can give us a wink, and walk into the sunset! Wonderful photo quality Sher, just amazing!! I'm a big fan of John Wayne, this is an awesome tribute to him in "True Grit" just fabulous!! 10++
