So, in case you haven't heard. I met Tom Smith this Friday.


I have one massive painting that just needs a few hours more, and then I'm done. I'll probably draw him occasionally, just because it's easy. But I'm not doing any more projects or studies.

I had expected that seeing him in real life would give me new information, or potentially raise new issues. But I only saw exactly what I already know. I can't necessarily draw it all completely right, but everything I know empirically was proven correct. There's still mysteries to be solved, just not with this man's face.

Also, he's a real person.

I have a variety of general problems with my art to solve. So I'm putting all my passion into my blog and future portrait/face mapping business. YourFaceisPretty.com

Tis a resource for other people who are interested in portrait art. Or the artistic process. Or are Alfi stalkers or friends. Mostly the last one and mostly the latter at the moment. I'd be okay with a couple kind of chill, non-aggressive stalkers, though. I'll be taking applications for the role until the twentieth.

I just missed two posts while I was up in Seattle for Editors' concert, but I'll catch up tomorrow and we'll get the businessy part up within the week. Mondays and Fridays. Yes. Shameless plugging.
