Charactor Portrait

This is Jerry Stith the founder of an Amercian folk art program called BallPoint Pen Art. This multi colored ballpoint pen charactor drawing was a new style that many people have asked me to try! When I did portraits at the SF, California warf there were several charactor artists that did very quick drawings. Watching them alter peoples proportions in order to make a charactor sketch work was rather fun or interesting. This artwork might be simular yet varried to meet my perspective. Color has been added plus an open tile look within a frame in order to give this effect. Hopefully this new direction is classier, more refreshing and pleasing to those looking in! What do you folks think?Your fellow artist, Jerry Stith

This is paradox of gentle smile and broken picture. Cool artwork.

Jacki Bowler 26 Jan 2008

This image actually gets more striking as you step away from the screen. The treatment is fascinating and challenges the eye.......I find myself almost seeing each square as an abstract piece in its own right as well as a piece of the whole!

Frank Maguire 25 Jan 2008

Very expressive.

Ruth Kauffman 24 Jan 2008

Very interesting style.

Greg Dubois 24 Jan 2008

I like to try new things and am happy that you are same way! I have not decided if I like this treatment or not, I kind of do like it, but am not sure if I like the black frames. BTW, if this is a self-portrait you look like a young Nelson Mandela, so you resemble man of peace and of towering dignity!

Olga van Dijk 07 Jan 2008

Jerry, I agree with Julie: YOU ARE MULTI TALENTED! Great job!--

David Holcombe 07 Jan 2008

The image dissolves into the blocks. It has a sense of disjointed unity. The figure is somewhat funny, while the disintegration of the squares adds a touch of tragedy or pathos. Aren't we all just falling apart.

julie Marks 07 Jan 2008

Jerry. You never cease to amaze me with your exceptional talent and range of fascinating subject matter. This is a unique drawing and I love your new direction of creating tiles with wonderful color and texture like a puzzle that gives this portrait an unusual new perspective. Although, I don't have time to comment on your work as much as I want too, I admire the consistency of your amazing works of art. You are a class act no matter what avenue you travel I am always impressed. Wishing you a healthy and prosperous new year and I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful work this year and in the future. Julie
