When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

* “Sophia” is based on characters from the 1963 film, “Ieri, Oggi, Domani” directed by Vittorio De Sica. ** Okay, I took a slight detour in the studio last night while putting some finishing touches on my forthcoming series, The Stranger to pay a little tribute to cinema’s most beautiful brunette, the legendary Mrs. Sophia Loren. The inspiration came directly from some heavy (haha) conversation between my good friend and fellow color pencil artist Ricardo  about our love and deep affection for Mrs. Loren during our adolescent years. The conversation was sparked after viewing his very own superb portrait of Italy’s finest. Check it out: [link] And hey, before you go jumping on my case, I know, I know I told you once that Lynda Carter was my first film love crush, well, I lied. That was only some serious lust going on, because when I laid eyes on Mrs. Loren, it was love at first sight.  Anyway, I tried my best do my portrait of Sophia in Ricardo’s classic clean minimalist style, but I couldn’t quite get it right, so after a couple of horrid attempts, I just went with what I know best, my usual OD style.  So this one’s for you, Ricardo. Thanks for your friendship and continued support through the years. Enjoy!  |
