Welllll, hate to add another to your already extant library of veritable kudos. . .
But I just wanted to say that this reminds me of a piece I created long ago, in which I cut out strips of hued magazine. ..you know, basic collage junk. .
But it turned out so haunting, in my opinion, because of the same expressive shading techniques you use in yours, here.
Thank you for reminding me. I am now negotiating the 1'5"x1'2" piece with my 8 1/2"x11" scanner.
This should be fun!
Well, check it out if you're interested, lol - nowhere as much order and detail as yours. I'll try and have it posted today.
for your dark poetic beauty.
for your perceptive gift, and detail in re-rendering what you see.
for your economy of shade and form, especially
your admirable understanding of grayscale tone expression.
I know you really have no need for my silly little poetic award system, but I love giving people shinies with meaning.

Very well done! This kind of a portrait can be very difficult because of the text constraints. You've done an excellent job. Congratulations on your Daily Deviation.

very nice! bright eyes are great... i was listening to one of their songs when i looked at this.
well done, how long did this take you??? i can't imagine it could be done too quickly hehe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it took maybe about 4 hours. it actually didn't take much longer than it would have to draw it the regular way, with the shading and such. it was worth the time, i think. thanks for the comment!

This is an amazing concept and a beautiful work of art o_o
You have given me so much inspiration 
...I don't think I'd ever have the patience to do it on a canvas that big, though e_e
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you! that's cool that I could inspire a few people. It actually isn't on a canvas, or very big. it is just on paper, a little over a foot long each way.

oh my god!!! that is amazing... i like the way conor is made... it's so different. i love it!

Creative idea--I knew who it was from the thumb.
I also like :devpresenstranger:'s idea of just doing more with the border . . . I think the background would get too busy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
wow!! amazing concept... I would leave the background plain and just do the border with more word/lyrics... darker though... how big is it... full view doesn't do it justice.. can't really make anything out though... words, i mean...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Yes I think that I will leave the background as it is. Um, it isn't that big.... maybe about 12"x14". something like that. I uploaded a scanned (thus, more clear) picture where you can read most of the words, if you'd like to: [link]

You should have entered the Inspirations contest with this.

How da hell did you did that?!?! That's really good........I thought it was some kind of sketch and drawing and I did'nt realize the lyrics! That's really good.

I really love this drawing, its really really good. You can clearly see the little things and the little expressions that make conor oberst 'the conor of bright eyes' on this drawing. i only glanced at the drawing and saw it was him, so i went back later to see it again. thank you for this beautiful drawing
