Description
I was asked to do yet another piece of Marilyn Monroe - my third take in roughly the past year.this piece was done for the InterContinental Hotel - Milwaukee. the buyer strictly requested the piece be done in black & white (which was a nice change of pace from all of my color experimenting).
sharpie/ink/charcoal/pastel/acrylic paint
All proceeds went towards the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
enjoy!

This is perfect!! what paper/board did you drawn this on if you don't mind me asking. Also what is 'white-out pen' you've used it on so many pieces and i'd love to try it!

I often use 'illustration board' - you can find it at any local art store. And for the pen I use a Presto! white out pen - you can find it at any Walmart/Walgreens/Amazon/art store for $2.00. It's a great investment!

Hmm I don't remember the exact dimensions... I think it was somewhere along the lines of 24" x 30" though...

Don't hide your light under a bushel. This is truly amazing. Dang, I really hope I'll own a drawing/painting as beautiful as this one someday.
