New Self Portrait and other news!

Hello,

I am sorry it has been awhile since I posted on my Lars Blog.

New things in the works, is that I will be having some new printing options with Marketing Orbit.

 I was picked out of a hat from their Facebook page, and won a free printed T-Shirt. So I decided to finish a self Portrait of my self to use on the back of the shirts I will be getting.

I had a great conversation with a very talented Master artist and friend that I really admire from Thomas Fluharty, and I loved how he not just help me realize that I had to study anatomy, but also gaave me an encouragement to not give up on finding my artist from with in and continued to pray with me! Here is a sample of his work!

I need to get back to feeding the puppies and straightening the house before the wife comes home so here is my latest self portrait of myself. I would love to hear feedback if the texture works, should I use this as my promo portrait or is it to fat :)

This one does not have any extra noise or Oil Paint texture

In this version I added to Noise and a Oil Painting filter in Photoshop CC.
