Quick head study of Junius Brutus Booth, he was John Wilkes Booths' pappy. Apparently he wasn't a big fan of the guv'mint either and sent a threatening letter to then President Andrew Jackson back in the day.
Favorite line from the Wiki page:
"It was often difficult for his friends to tell whether he was drunk or crazy."
Awesome Ryan!!!

Man, I went to wikipedia and learned all about those guys. It is crazy how it is almost like having someone from Hollywood assassinate the president. Great piece by the way!

ReplyDeleteBoothe I could see,....but his dad? Nice!
Excellent mixture of fine artwork and history.
ReplyDeleteHe looks a lot like Pete Townsend.
Nice Piece Ryan , i hope that you make it with colour.
ReplyDelete.Congratulations anyway
Great values and expression!!
ReplyDeleteis there somewhere in SLC where some of you guys get together and draw that I may be welcome to? I'd love to rub shoulders with some of you and your "link" friends and get some good direction on my art. I'm a little older and work so college courses aren't what I'm looking for.
ReplyDeleteIf you can offer any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
Thank you

I'm not sure which is better; your great drawing or his name! Junius Brutus, wow.
