yeah i knowhe was great. i just had to get him done now. i wanted to do him for some time now but never got to it.

and i am glad that he turned out the way he did.
i will hang him in my livingroom next to some of my other nice ones.

i dont know what it is but w.c fields always reminds me of that old news/comic paper called punch.

i have some old punch books and just love them .

ive just looked at your stuff and you have talent for it man. ive seen that you have the same clint eastwood version that i have mad and i must say i like your version a lot.

i am also still learning(you will always be learning things when you paint or draw or do other creative things)

i just like you did is mostly as a hobby(i have done some other things for people )

but now i am going to put my stuff out there and go big with it.

currently there is an exhibition going on with some of my work. and i will keep doing exhibitions... and who knows maybe even sell stuff later on(not sure if i really want to sell my work... i like it the way it is now)

but i will get my own website up and i will promote my stuff more.

Good on you,thank you for your comment means alot coming from such a gifted artist hope to see your work on gallerys and exhibitons.
Thats what is so great about these site,you get to talk to other artists and share tecknics and ways of doing things, and seen other styles.

Just join DevianArt tow days ago.excuse my writting and spelling as i speak it well but my writng skills are not so good,im originally from spain madrid,i have been living in Australia for 30 years.

Ihave started to do potraits of people well known to others, but love to do original stuff one day very soon.

sure it would be great to have you as a friend.


and its always great to see each others things.

we can always learn from it.

i also do lots of famous people but i also do lots of my own stuff

but the best way to get attention is to do things people know and like.

but no matter what happens always make sure that you do what you want to do. dont let people tell you what you can and cannot do.
and always be true to your style. work how you want to work and not how people want you to do things.

your style is what makes you unique and original.

never forget that my friend.

i also do things how i want to do them.

not all my work is charcoal and white pastel.

i do have some colored pastel drawings.

and i have done some inked drawings
also some airbrush stuff on cars and some paint stuff on furniture


but for some reason i just love the black and white charcoal stuff the most.

same with photographs and movies. i love black and white stuff.


and what you say about that old stuff from the 30s and 40s being popular... i know!
its also what i love the most myself

that is why i do so many old movie stars. i just love the old days and many people seem to like them.

w.c.fields played in several comedy movies he started around the early 1900s i believe up till the 40s. i believe he died right after the war.

you could know him from the movies alice in wonderlands or david copperfield.

but he did a lot of great stuff.

its a shame that the picture doesnt show my drawing as it is when you see it in real life.

maybe i need to set the pixel quality lower or something.

anyway its good enough quality to show here and i am glad that people like you like what i did.

thank you!
