Remember this face... he will be famous one day.
I had no chance whatsoever to sketch a still and interesting subject for 'muddy' this weekend so I reverted to old photos. This one caught my eye.
I was shooting pictures with Howard (FigNewton's camera) and shot this crisp image of my friend Boy that was almost god-like. Any other face was blurred out and Boy was the focus. I was up until 4:30 this morning sketching. I was on a roll and I could not stop until I could step away and recognize one of my closest friends on the paper.
explanation time!
Why call this, 'muddy'? What's the meaning?
Well, boys and girls, I have two main reasons and many itty bitty reasons that I haven't quite finalized yet.
1) "His face... look at his face..." What is he thinking? Could be love, surprise, waiting for something, or no real feeling behind it at all. Could be anything, right? His expression is muddy and you can't quite decide what he's thinking.
2) "Look around you..." The faces are barely there. Just basic outlines. It's a muddy surrounding to a crisp focus.

"I got a feelin', that tonight's gonna be a good, good night..."
Excellent concept coupled with a very successful execution...even if not performed from life;) The explanation is a nice touch, too, as the words drift into the distance.......
