I know this is only a portrait, but I love the old black and whites.
This is a picture of Great Garbo at the height of her career in the late 20's.
Airbrushed on masonite. Used black and white paint.
Comments welcome.
This is a link to a time elapse of me painting it. Video indicates size. (Requires Media Player)

Holy crap man, I'm impressed :) The video was cool. How many days did this take you?
The edge in the middle kinda makes her look like a robot, but I dig it. :thumbsup:

Thanks Mumphy and wasker,

The seem is where the two pieces of masonite join together. Could not help that. I painted it for a restaurant. It took 5 and a half hours over 3 days. I built the camera crane to move the
entire distance in 1 hour and 45 minutes. I had fun building and painting. I hope all of you can
film yourselves working. I have been able to study my work habits and improve missteps.
I hope to post more.
