"It's Gene, Gene, The DANCING MACHINE!"
Thursday, January 8, 2009
Here's a picture I did with pencil, colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, and gold leaf. Did you know the glue that one uses to apply gold leaf is called 'size'? Anyway, it's currently floating around Australia or the South Pacific somewhere, as I sent it to Jeremy quite a while ago and he still hasn't gotten it. It's Sam Rockwell playing Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, based on the novel of the same name by Chuck Barris, screenplay by Charlie Kaufman, and directed by George Clooney. If you ever try to freeze frame the film you won't find this exact image because I took what I thought was Rockwell's most interesting pose from the scene and put it over The Gong Show's set. In the actual film he is doing this fist pump in front of a fairly non descript red curtain if I remember right. I wanted that glitter in there. Sorry for the crappy pics, I think you can see me in the glare. I really hope it gets to him OK eventually.

Though Sean already knows this, for the welfare of you kind readers, the picture eventually arrived safely and I can assure you all that it's amazing. Also, Sean, I did go skimming the movie for the exact pose and noticed that you did a little composite work. Excellent film, excellent drawing/painting!
lol, awesome... your images ALWAYS have a story behind them. Every time I see one, I know there is a reason and explanation that pairs with it.
Very glad if finally got to you jeremy--i had the post office open up an investigation-which they didnt seem too happy about.
i did this picture for jeremy because of his (our) appreciation for charlie kaufman scripts and becuase we also both know sam rockwell is the man.
