Hey Tony,

This is really quite nice! I love the richness of those blacks and that directional light. Also the poetic looseness of the brushwork which preserves just a bit of mystery about this man.

Garth

Hi Tony,

Awesome, did you work from life? I especially like the lighting.

I shall take to calling you the "Edgemeister".

(Although you may not be old enough to remember the early years of Saturday Night Live. Oh dear I should probably stop posting jokes that only I get. Sigh.)
