Just wanted to draw something to say farewell to Charlton Heston. I've seen Ben Hur so many times, and Omega Man has always been one of my favorites too. The thing I would like to have told him is that I thank him for his contribution, and being moved to participate in the Civil Rights movement, and March on Washington with his peers Sammy Davis Jr., and Marlon Brando. All are gone, but not forgotten by me.

good strong piece. the wife was at me to do one, but this is nicer than I'd come out with. well done.

Artist Reply: Mark, I thought I responded to this, but that was before the big change here at AW. Probably got lost. Thanks so much for commenting on Mr. Heston.

Wonderful portrait, Carliss! Great tribute! and very nice words

Artist Reply: Thanks, Lili!!! People tend to forget, and since I knew I would never meet him or those many others to thank them, I thought I would do it this way. I remember, and remember that what went on was of utmost importence, and it needs to be said.
