TOR!

Here is a painting of horrible actor, Tor Johnson. Even though he was bad at acting, he seemed like a nice enough guy in real life. His big meaty head is very fun to paint. No hair, no pupils, lots of wrinkles, and very ugly.

Here's the photo I used.

    He's acrylic on an 11x14 canvas.

    Thanks for asking, sir!

    Really reminds me of the work of Basil Gogos - The artist that did many covers for Famous Monster of Filmland. -- Mykal

    Mykal - I like Basil Gogos a lot. I've a book about him. Thanks for that compliment!

    Ako - Thanks! I guess stuff looks 3D if the lighting all comes from the same direction as it hits all the different parts it can reach.

    Brad - Thanks brother!
