Artist's Comments

well here it is, finally. unfortunately, full-viewing won't really allow you to see this any better, i have a crappy 72-res digicam, and can't afford better right now. ^^; okay, here's the rundown: in case you don't know, this is matsumoto hideto, aka hide, former guitarist for x japan, and frontman of saber tiger, spread beaver, and zilch. rip 5/98. while this isn't technically a drawing, (as there was no base contour laid down before the ink), i wasn't sure what else to put it under. this is done in pointillism, from a photo (YOU trying doing observational pointillism and keeping your subject sitting still for 60-80 hours......sheesh), all done in entirely in prismacolor markers, only 6 hues used. no pencil sketch or sighting and measuring allowed AT ALL (this was my final for a class) took me about 80 hours, over the course of one week. this was one of my "happy accidents" :D a do-it-yourself haircut masterpiece. move over, paul mitchell. oh, and original image is (C)........Sony, i believe. I may try to get their permission for distribution, but i doubt i'll get it ^^; and i could make so much money off this damn thing.....*sighs*

hell yeah, he's the whole reason i started playing guitar (the "eyes love you" rift in particular) lol that's really the only reason i had enough patience to do all this :P it's my sort of homage to my personal god. lol

I'm still touched by it ::tear!:: But no matter what scanner you use, this is one of those pieces you have to see "in person". If you ever sell prints, I'll be your number one customer. Not that you can legally sell them.... ahem...
