Hello? Hello? Anyone home? Hello? Hello? There?

I've been neglecting my blogging, as you can see. Sorry 'bout that.

I was asked who this man is, and the truth is, I've never met him... but look at his face. I feel as if I am his kin. There is so much life, and so much pain, and hope in that beautiful- but weathered face.

His face shows what I feel sometimes. When I saw it, I had to use it. Please follow the link and look at all the resources I used for this picture. Study that face in its original picture form. There was no way I could improve upon the original, but I wanted to somehow make it my "own." http://smoko-stock.deviantart.com/art/Look-100601389

This song relates to me in the same way. Take the time to read the lyrics. Heartbreaking, but beautiful.

This face intrigues me. It tells so many stories. That's what I love about making art, and storytelling. Same thing, really. A beautiful companion.
