After Steven Meisel

This is the largest marker drawing I have ever attempted.  Markers make for a tough medium. It's difficult to get flat color and smooth transitions, but they are fun to work with.  


I have been staring at this picture now and again since it first was printed in the Italian Vogue in 2000.  It is one of a large selection of Steven Meisel shots from a pretty interesting series which included NO copy.  Those crazy europeans.  Anyway, I love that this model has the same haircut my mom has been wearing for years.  

I am tempted to post a picture of my studio as it sits so you can see why I'm not in there painting.  It's a friggin' MESS.  One of my New Years resolutions - throw out everything.
