Sorry for the link guys, I'm having trouble posting pics from my blog this morning.

Marlon Brando.

Any and all feedback welcome.

i'm as big an admirer of brando as you'll find, grant. right at the top of my personal pantheon. knowing your style, i had no idea what to expect popping in here.

wow, a whole new side of you! new to me at least. great repro job!

Grant Perkins · 11-16-2009, 07:25 AM

Thank you very much Chris.

I take you hadn't seen his Heath Ledger "Joker" then? Grant's posted more than one traditional piece over years. It is always shocking to see other sides of this talented guy. Cartoonist, Painter, Writer and bike repairman. Mr. Renaissance himself.

Another awesome painting grant

chris stevens · 11-16-2009, 06:16 PM

no, ron, i just thought he did the cartoony thing and filled in for dorian yates when the need arised...

and not to be a dick, i'm sure grant's was cool, but if i never see another heath ledger joker again it'll be too soon.

Mr. Renaissance? I like that. Although to be fair, before I get too comfy on top of the pedastool you just put me on, I should say that I'm really not that good at repairing bikes.

Here is the Joker in question Chris. I've linked to it so if it is "too soon" you don't have to click.

Thanks again for the kind words guys.

chris stevens · 11-17-2009, 09:50 AM

ha, for you, grant, i looked...nice eyes.

Grant Perkins · 11-18-2009, 03:36 PM

Thanks Chris.
