How to Disappear Completely

I'd been thinking about a piece like this for a little while and I'm surprised how well it works at such a small size. I had planned for a big ol guy but was lazy and cheap so I picked up this gem of a canvas and frame from goodwill for 2$ instead. I think the small size lends itself to the relation in size between the brushstroke, paint splatter and borders of hte canvas. Sometimes if a piece is really large, the detail and texture can get overlooked while trying to view the whole picture. Here the strokes and shapes made by them seem much more expressive and real, whereas if the picture was bigger I would have had to "create" the feathered brushstroke look in some parts. Or buy a huge-ass brush. Anyways, it's a mysterious little melancholy dude with a bit of an iconic punch creepin' through.

Oh the gloriousity of my camera phone...and made up words
