Generations – Artwork
Last summer I got the idea to do this picture with conte crayons. I had always thought one of my older brothers (Jeff) looked like my dad, who in turn looked like HIS dad. In other words, I thought my brother, my dad, and my grandpa O’Brien looked very similar in their early 20’s. So I gathered photos of them at around this age, and combined them. Ironically, during the process, I realized how much they DON’T look alike. But I still think you can seem some similarities. It was definitely a frustrating/rewarding experience. Copying people accurately is a real pain in the ass. I still think it could be better, and like many of the projects I work on, I reserve the right to work on it and make it better some day…Probably won’t though…I have a fondness for half-assery.
