I love it. It has such a clear aesthetic.
I also like your nervous horse, vomps.
Epi, you should draw all your roles from now on.

Jean-Paul Riopelle.... I think this is a close-up of a larger painting... but just look at that. How do you paint like that? Insane.

Here's something I whipped together with my son James. The colours weren't really by choice... they were the only oils left from a bunch that were stored in the garage, and mice got into them. We wanted to play with layering and texture a little, but the condition of the paints made it difficult.... need to get some new paints and try it again.

I downloaded the movie, and found a shot of him that I liked, and I Photoshopped him on to use as a guide. I penciled him in lightly, then painted.

Always good to remember that there is no such thing as a Mafia circumstance that is worth real human emotion. Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

Yeah, I took a bunch of paints and little canvasses in, and some examples of previous pours:
, and they each made at least one... a couple of them did more than one. Here's some photos, so many great ones! They choose the colours, and they tilt the canvas to flow the poured paint around.
