That Guy- painted on an old 78 record

I bought a stack of old 78’s a while back and enjoyed doing acrylic artwork on them for a while. “That Guy” was done out of my head. I’m not a portrait painter by any stretch of the imagination, but I wanted to try doing a small series of faces. This was the most realistic and sold the fastest. In fact, it may be the only one that sold. I used a few reference photos for getting the shine and shadow on the face and nose areas. Putting outlines under the chin is a no-no, but I wasn’t going for perfection. I wanted him quirky. I especially like the melancholy feel to this piece. He reminds me of an old friend who I have not seen in years.
