Any idea on how he achieved that wonderful grainy quality of the shadows and fabric? Could it be stippling or a toothier paper?
Getting back into art after a 15 year hiatus and your blog has been a great inspiration. Thank you! -justin
Love that "Moonfall": What a timeless elegance - it really does deserve to be on the front page!
Circle and square I see in the genereal design, and what I'd call some inventive adaption of surroundings and ambiance to the figure; the background square, for instance, rounded out with that "dogear" at the upper left - and how this "rhymes" with that hat!
Hats off!
