HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALI!

It's still your birthday over here... Perhaps some day your Mom will do you real justice with an oil painting... But in the meantime, me and my colouring pencils got busy. Better not show Gucci this post - poor dog! I think I've got everything - pipe, goblet, velvet vest - and - oh yes, just had to throw in a little Texas here - those are COWBOY BOOTS! Hope you had a great day!!

Now that I've slept a night and seen my post with fresh eyes - I see I have NOT got AG's body type at all!! This dude does not have a long and lean look! He looks more like the short and stocky type - like an E.Gorf.!! Oh well - its the THOUGHT THAT COUNTS, RIGHT? Hope Ali isn't too dismayed at my effort...!!??

Oh wow! I missed this yesterday... what a distinguished young man (I rather shudder at the pipe and goblet, but I know he wants them just for effect!) Thank you for doing a preliminary drawing to get the old cogs moving - perhaps I will do this - the subject of the painting is worn out and sleeping right now after a long squawk on his new playstation - will show him when he wakes up...

I showed this to Ali - he says ":)That's the rough idea :)" ...wants it more zoomed in to the head and chest area, and looking away slightly, so you've clarified a few things, thanks! He's quite impressed! -as for the cowboy boots he said you had to get your Texas two cents in - ha ha.

Go Gillian! This is a great image of a rollicking rip snorter.
