Artist's Comments

A piece I did for my old high school (sort of a commission...). It's 12x15, Prismacolor pencils on Bristol. Lots of hours...I lost track. The title is from the song "Call Me Al" by Paul Simon.

This piece isn't about abuse or hate or anything. I found the expressions and color balance really intriguing.

Very, very copyrighted.

Your shading and colors are spectacular. I use prisma colors, but who doesn't, but not like this. I'm lucky if I can get the shading right. :)

Thanks so much! It is quite a tedious process though...

Exceptional work on the skin tones and shading... I can't believe it! Haha. I like the semi-realism. This has quite the distinctive look.

Woah, thanks...I'm stoked that you like the "semi-realism" (that's a perfect way to put it) and that you think I have a...look. Flattered.

I think it's mainly the colors that do it. You're very welcome. :D

You said "This piece isn't about abuse or hate or anything." I never would have thought it was! The girl's expression is far too good-natured and exhasperated (you can see that she's smiling!) as opposed to fearful. When I see the tiny shrunken version in your avatar it always makes me think of a goofy dad horsing around with his daughter or something. It's adowable.

I have to mention that I adore Paul Simon and Call Me Al. Rock!
