Awesome! I hate going to the store to get my doors.

That's a super hat.

Is Murphy's law applicable to his business as well?

Very fun character. The huge distance between his eyes gives his face the illusion of being in both profile and frontal view at the same time.

I would definitely buy a door from this guy, doesn't look like a creep at all! I see you're still rockin' it with the brush pen, awesome line work!

Love the idea of the portrait project by the way, more more more!!!!

Voz - He'll be in your neighborhood this week, going door-to-door selling his doors, so you'll probably see him.

Justdoodleit - His peripheral vision must be amazing.

David - I'm still very shaky with the brush pen. I find myself doing stupid things like holding my breath when drawing a line, and contorting my face into embarrassing positions as I attempt to make the brush do what I want it to do. After I finish a drawing with the brush pen I feel the need to lay down because it's so exhausting.

Door-to-door door salesman is a great job, Jason. Now, like an offer, he could give a Doors CD with each door sold...

I love the color choices for this one! That blue is POPPING! This has an overall great feel to it. Nice work!

Jason Curtis said...

Tomas - Great idea. Buy a door...get a free Doors CD.

Chelsea - Thanks so much!
