BALD DUDES
Not listed on eBay yet. I'll be doing that tomorrow, I think.

MR. BUSHYBROW EGGHEAD
#2 of the FAILED WRESTLER SERIES
This fellow was named by a consortium of neighborhood kids who were watching me paint in my backyard. Learning from a master, I suppose. Smart children.
This wrestler had eyebrows so bushy
They impeded his ability to see
And shaped like an egg
from head to his leg
He'd always end up on his tushy.
Not my best poem. Bid high, and maybe I could afford to go to limerick school.

CAP'N COMB-OVER
This is the first of what I expect to be a very popular series, FAILED WRESTLERS. Here is Cap'n Combover. He was fit and skilled enough, but fans couldn't get over his poorly thought out hair structure."The Combover" was what he was called
Throughout his career that he brawled
When it came to hair
There wasn't much there;
He should have tried going bald.

DUDE'S HEAD #5,012
Seriously, how many dude's heads can I paint? A lot, I guess. I went with three colors on this one, with a little bit of black. No ink, just paint. I wanted to get the 3-Dness right.
A lot of my faces lately have taken on a Roman quality; not sure why. So with that in mind, I bring you:
There once was a Roman named Titus
Who rudely would never invite us
To go to his parties
Hosted at Sardi's
So that's why we tell him to "bite us!"
Tomorrow I'm painting a lady. Oh, and here's how this dude started:

POST #301: SINGIN' FARMER
I'm resuming my eBay art career with this guy, SINGIN' FARMER. He looks like he's off-tune, but I'm sure no one minds. He's singing
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
That song was in the movie, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? which the wife and I have yet to see.
Also, I think I can tie this in with the latest ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY topic, Juggle, as I am trying to juggle owning a house for the first time, my regular job, and this art thing.

AND ANOTHER... FACE
I should have left more white space on the nose and a few other places, but not too bad.
...ANOTHER FACE
SCAVENGER DRAWING
I forgot my artbag one day, and had to borrow from my classmates. This one is from pastels, I think.
FROM YOUTUBE
Sometimes I watch art instruction videos on youtube. Here's what one of those clips taught me. Spooky looking weirdo, no?
TWO COLOR FACE
I'm thinking of cutting this one up to make an ACEO.

BEN'S PICS
NOT mine. Don't want to take the credit/blame. These are by Sutcliffe buddy Ben. He went to art class with me, so here are some familiar images through the eyes of a banjo player.
First, the skull:

ENRAGED BELLYPUNKER
Why is the Bellypunker so mad? Because people are lighting firecrackers in the parking lot and they scare is dog.
Maybe the Bellypunker will chill out a bit once he moves to the country.
Close-up of his dashing countenance:
