Artist's Comments
I'm tempted to put this in scraps, but since I'll be going home next week and won't be doing any traditional painting for awhile, I might as well put it up as-is for now.
This is my painting final, which was yet again left until the last two weeks of class and didn't leave much time to work on it with all the other class finals. But I gave Axl as much attention as I could.
Really I could be happy just painting Axl for no other reason than I want to, but since it's fine art and there must be a reason for everything you do, I gave him an old fashioned halo to reference the saint paintings and how religious icons have been replaced by pop icons and blah blah blah.
This photo doesn't nearly do it justice, it's overcast this afternoon with lousy light to photograph this particular painting, so I'll reshoot it before I fly home and add detail shots.
But for now...yay Axl. It's been awhile. 20x24" acrylic.
I envy your painting skills!! I love how you used really subtle blues and purples in the shadows of his skin... and those eyes... those eyes... even in a painting those eyes are hypnotic!
(Hehe, and I have a bandana exactly like that!)

Well...gee.. You know I gotta fav Love the whole requisite BS you had to add to it
I was at a city-wide art event last night and it was refreshing to walk into an exhibit where the artist had not attributed meaning to a single work...
Yeah that's the thing, a painting just of Axl would still have mostly the same meaning, expression of tacky pop idols, just not so blatant as the stupid saint thing.
BUT, at least all it took was a couple minutes, a dinner plate template, and some gold paint to make people think "omg so brilliant".
Well, if you think about it..the dumb saint connection does have a some relevance to a portrayal of Axl, he did so many insane things, claiming to be a saint might have been next "I was God in another life!" ...
And thank goodness you didn't go for a full body portrait with rose print spandex or a leather kilt XD
We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".

"I fucked you mum!" "....go home dad...your drunk."
And it's actually acrylic paint. I wish I'd had time to do this in oils, but they never would've dried fast enough.
