Ok...I can´t believe all the comments you have! 51! <br />Ok.<br />This posts raises so many questions. Like who is playing who´s character? Who are you playing, who is Johnny playing, and Is Audrey Dorothea. For someone interested in film, these are vital questions!<br />And more importantly, did you use your (and their) portraits to work from, or did you work from scratch?<br />Great work.<br />And, it´s a film I´d really like to see!spindelmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567209482657775776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-75081228629254074682010-09-30T20:03:08.451-07:002010-09-30T20:03:08.451-07:00Francisco, It was a pleasure to look at your work....Francisco, It was a pleasure to look at your work.

John Le Carre will talk around a character to build that character up,. He will show us how people react to him, or show us the dent in the chair that the protagonist has made - without showing us the protagonist.<br /><br />It is a dangerous line to tread I think?<br /><br />Have you seen the three witches of eastwick? An old film with Jack Nicholson as the protagonist _ I think he is the devil. They build him up before we see him very well.<br /><br />Just like the Great Gatsby.<br /><br />Oh F. Scott Fitzgerald was an artist!Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-77144144116282041682010-09-30T19:55:51.014-07:002010-09-30T19:55:51.014-07:00Amalia why she would want to go home is beyond me....Amalia why she would want to go home is beyond me.?

Such merry making makes me smile early this morning.<br /><br />I love the Wizard of Oz and watch that movie again and again even when it is not Thanksgiving Day. Alas, my favorite characters are The Lion (Bert Lahr), Glenda and the Lollipop Kids and I have a special affinity for the wicked witch. She was a school teacher and her face was burnt with the green chemical makeup. She was not paid well either and to think that she bore the brunt of hatred of every movie goer. Some role. Toto was paid more than the Munchkins. Buddy Ebsen was the original tin man who was hospitalized for poisoning from the Tin Man's first make-up solution. Such is the demented life in Hollywood. <br /><br />As for your movie poster, it is so much better than the original. You really must find a way to make your work out to the paying public. There are so many so called commercial illustrators out there who create cliched images that in my mind, I consider them inferior to the fine art oil painters. Then again there are so many frauds throwing paints on canvases and calling their work art. <br /><br />Save the planet from ugly art! Obliterate the pretenders and hoaxers and fraud. I love art but I hate so called art. I will use their work to wrap fish.<br /><br />Hello!!!Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-804779298986191502010-09-30T04:21:58.506-07:002010-09-30T04:21:58.506-07:00Oh yes, is a self-portrait, (I had forgotten to te...Oh yes, is a self-portrait, (I had forgotten to tell you)<br />(I'm the one wearing the boots) Do not tell anyone, is another facet of my personality. actually, I'm not ashamed, but I have an old neighbor that spy me behind the curtains of her window when the remis coming for me at my house.<br />can you believe that there are people so inconsiderate!roberto M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16391708405593430150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618045567487829932.post-26855205005477799182010-09-30T04:10:16.523-07:002010-09-30T04:10:16.523-07:00Oh, Andrew! it is fortunate that you get up out of...Oh, Andrew! it is fortunate that you get up out of bed so early.
