Don't drink, kids.

After a couple of emotional turbulent months, I decided to let off some steam by going out with my brother and his friends to enter a quiz and a few drinks. I rarely drink, if ever. We won the quiz, so ventured into the town centre afterwards. I decided I'd had enough, and walked home by myself. On the way home I was jumped and beaten up. Typical. My face was a mess, so instead of inflicting photos of my face for all to see. I thought I'd do a quick painting of my profile.

This is a portrait I did over the course of a few hours on a Sunday two weeks ago. Minor tweaking the next day. Mostly happy with it, not so sure about the background, but that goes to show what happens when you don't plan these things. It is of Bob Schneider, singer-songwriter, artists and sometime wearer of a beard.

I like drawing Sharks, this one was a bit of a pain to do. The middle part of the body was difficult to get right. I think it turned it okay, seeing as I was trying to use a variety of colours rather the standard greys and blues consistent with a shark's skin tone. The small Goldfish is Louie, a Lion head with a bad attitude and surly nature, a bit less so than me. He would annoy the Shark.
