I used more of a traditional watercolor technique for the gouache here, so the white is the white of the paper!

Yes, nothing says "I should be in charge of honoring America's fine arts at the Kennedy Center" quite like being a low-brow philistine schmuck who broke tradition by refusing to go to the Kennedy Center to honor America's artists. I just never thought I'd see Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan get the award.

Any other artists on here? Here's a little graphite drawing from my sketchbook. It's one of my favorites. #art

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.
