Here's a link to a nifty unpublished fanzine cover done by an artist who met PB on the set of RS (with his brief comments on that meeting as well). www.portrait-artist.org/portfolio/ink2.htmlSorry, I can't get the graphic to paste, but it's there, and enlargeable, at the link. |

Thanks Lauryn! I saw this several years ago online but never saved it then never ran across it again. It's probably the best of him I've seen in fan art. And gotta love the Bogie key chain.  |

I just loved the whole composition -- and all the clever touches! And it's a very expressive likeness. Makes me want to get out my Rap eedograph and sketch, but it's been so long it's all dried up, LOL! |

What is a Rapidograph? Debra They're technical pens developed for architects and the like. They have a needle-type point and come in different line widths. Architects don't use them as much now that they have software, (unless they're "old school") but artists do. They make it possible for you to apply a very thin, very even ink line, great for effects like the crosshatching that was used in that sketch of Steele. That's the good news. On the other hand they aren't cheap and they aren't fun to clean when they clog up -- and they do clog up even if you don't leave them in a drawer for years. Just buy new ones, LOL! |

Thank you for posting, Lauryn. It's the first drawing of PB on which he looks alive, IMHO.
