Description Full title: In Recognition Of Disingenuous Acts

This is the cover for a mix cd I'm making for a friend. I honestly prefer the BW version of this better. This just isn't a successful painting. I don't think there's enough contrast for starters. It also seems to be lacking a central focal point. I should have drawn more attention to his hand. And I thought I'd try and paint a western style plaid shirt, but it didn't come off anywhere near as successfully as I had hoped. Ah well, you win some and you lose some . . .

Ink, Brush, Watercolor & Collage, 2007.

Love it, especially the way you made it look like those French-Belgian bd books.

At first i was also liking better the BW one, but this here after a wile....it has another feel to it...more hot and messy..because of the colors.

It looks great as a music cover.

i don't know i like the word SEXPRESSION, i think i may have to start using it.

yeah, at first she looked kinda sad, but i thought she'd look sexier if she looked like she enjoyed it.
