Artist's Comments

Done as a gift for my Dad's 80th birthday (yeah, he's old) :)
When I started this I was like "Aw this is crappy, I don't want to finish", but I kept working and, oddly enough, it's one of my favourite pieces now. So I guess there's a lesson in there somewhere, heh. Moustaches are hard, but I had fun doing his skin; lots of texture - good practice!

~Stuff~
+9b charcoal and white charcoal pencils
+11x14 bristol board
+Aprox. 15 hours?

_ _ _
I swear I almost just puked of excitement and joy!
A huge thanks to `alchemism and ^oedalis for suggesting and selecting this piece, and to ~mattnothing for the encouragement.
