That is a great portrait. I like how you used your own style and still made him recognizable. Good job

Great paintings (as usual) Dave. I just caught Jack in what HAD to be one of his earliest films. "The Raven" directed by Roger Corman (of course) starring Jack, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price and Peter Lorrie.

Awesome! I think I saw that one-where he barely had a speaking role..very very cool

Actually, he was pretty involved in the beginning of the movie (he was Peter Lorrie's son making a play for Vincent Price's daughter). It probably wasn't his very FIRST role, I think his cameo appearance as the masochist in the original "Little Shop of Horrors."

oh yeah! Yup. Youre right..Its been years since Ive seen all the Hammer/Corman Horror flicks..I so miss "Chiller theatre" from my youth!

Yeah, here it was called "Shock theatre" and I never missed it at all! We also had "Lights Out" which played more of the sci-fi monster movies.

It all reminds me of SCTV with Count Floyd back in the day! It was all really "scaryyyyyyy"

Heheh, SCTV was really cool, huh? So many people from the old show have made it fairly big too.

This looks like "Cuckoo's Nest" era Jack, when he was at his best.

I think the smile is the super topping here for the mega supreme pizza. I'm digging the way you captured the mood and the youth of this guy. I thinks very well done man VIBEZZ

Nice work, youve really captured him here. I love the fluid brush work also, it seems to really flow with confidence.

RPM, one of my favorite Jacks, right next to Billy "Bad Ass" Buddusky from The Last Detail... Sterling.

Agree-its RPM definately...all early 70's "Jack" cinema was powerhouse stuff-{much like deniro-pacino-hoffman at that time,too} what an era of great dramatic acting..

Jesus, I know-- at least our generation has Daniel Day Lewis, Mickey Roarke, Sean Penn and (sometimes) Johnny Depp to show for itself...
Ellen Page is just fantastic-- she might be the new Paul Newman...

Yeah-"Indie"/smaller films are where to find the raw talent today I guess--"Juno's" Page I woulda had no idea how super awesome she is- because I saw her in X-Men 3 earlier before.. Philip seamore hoffman and John c rielly are "real" actors that I like too..theres a small handfull,yep

I'm with ya on Hoffman and Rielly, and yup, Ellen Page was the one and only thing I LOVED about X-Men 3-- Dude, rent Hard Candy. Seriously...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok-Ive heard that she carries that film too-Will do!!

The guy, too, though-- really, two landmark performances in something that's just crazy gripping from start to finish-- I don't really think that movie's been given the credit it's due.
