Power in Numbers Show at Galley Nucleus



So this is a sketch and some photo reference for my entry in Gallery Nucleus' Power in Numbers show. May 19th - 28th, 2007 7pm - 11pm. The sketch is of Bobby Peru and he has to be one of my favorite movie villains/creeps of all time, so I thought I'd take a stab at doing a painting of him. The final will be in the show, and it will be a 5" x 7" digital print. If you've seen the movie "Wild at Heart" than you're familiar with this character and hopefully you'll enjoy my take on him, if you haven't seen the movie ( see photo reference of character played by Willam Dafoe included above) than I suggest that you do, because Bobby Peru is one hell of a guy.
