I like F1 racing.
I know they race at Adelaide in F1.
Fun days.
I should practice the portrait thing more.
There are some AMAZING talents on Deviant, and in the world period. And YOUNG too!..they can draw circles around me. But I think the portrait is where I should focus. Lately I haven't been able to finish any other works without stopping to do someone's portrait.
Art is genetic in my family. My dad was REALLY REALLY very good. He was a billboard sign painter in the early 50s, and worked in every field of commercial art/printing/advertising. He was also the Duncan Yo Yo champ in the 50's too. He later worked for a company drawing stuff that is represented in what was known as a "Cut Book."
It's a book that commercial and paste-up artists use for a source of stock images representing anything from a car or airplane, to a rump-roast. You've seen them in the food pages mostly.
He was really amazing, and FAST.
His dad was also an artist too....in a huge studio doing label/crate label, and food label design at the turn of the century.
So I grew up with a comfort level being around art and artists.
He gave me many many lessons at a very young age.
I could go on all day about the family art lineage....it goes back to Holland even.
I'm Dutch.
