Artist's Comments

Digital painting of U2 frontman, Bono.
Requested by =yvanklestein

I'm pushing for hyper-realism with this one. High contrast black & white portraiture is my preferred style which is why I didn't take much persuading to do this piece.

I've lost track of the time spent on this since I've been on artistic hiatus for a while. At a guess, I would say perhaps 12 hours, give or take... :shrug:

Hope you like it Yvan. :aww:

Darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good...

Wow, I certainly did mistake the preview for a photo, and had to squint at the full-view a bit to be sure it wasn't :D Great work!
