Description
Finished at last.
I've had to spend over 10 more hours filling in the black background with dots so altogether I spent over 40 hours on him and my hand is now due a rest and maybe a bucket of ice.
So this is a stippling/pointillism piece so it done entirely in dots for 's stippling contest...even my signature is done in dots. This is my second piece, after viewing the other entries to the contest I realised my first piece didn't have what it took to beat the competition, so I'm hoping this one is in with a chance.
Done in black ink on A3 bristol board. The actual area is 27cm x 42cm (approx 11" x 17.5" )

Lovely !
I admire this man for many reasons:
- he is sincere, charismatic and fine person
- works with any directors I like, and represented Nelson Mandela in the Clint Eastwood's Invictus movie
- he remembers me - and in particular in your draw - another person I admire a lot: James Marshall Hendrix
(persons with soul, integrity and very talented)

and this is traditional? Not even digital? you actually put every single dot on a canvas? Then far out, I can't believe what I'm seeing.. Even on a tiny picture in the gallery, I knew that was Mortan Freeman! eee..
You kbnow what? I don't care what anybody tells you, whatever, just you believe that if you can do this, you definately have a talent.. It's precious, take care of it and keep it safe!

thanks very much. Morgan Freeman has to be one of my all time favourite actors, I can't think of a single film where I've been disappointed with his performance.

indeed he is a genius of acting.

This is amazing. I thought stippling a car was difficult... Hah! You totally kicked my butt.
Looks great! Love the detail. I personally like to give people a little critique when I comment, but there's really nothing I can say. This is incredible!

The style on this piece is amazing. It's hard to believe that it hasn't simply been rendered on the computer. Breathtaking work.

bugger! why didn't I think of that!!

As I said before, you're work is quite humbling. I'm trying the same subject with the same medium. if it turns out half as good as yours, I'll be happy.
