Description
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
----------Pablo Picasso
or, like me, just never grow up.

Painted the brushstrokes in Photoshop, made terrains in Bryce from the greyscale and exported those as .3ds meshes. Curved and bent them in Hexagon and sent them back into Bryce. Drips and house are terrains. made the brush and cans and painted the bib of the overalls

Think you and ol' Pablo have gotten to the heart of it. I really love this picture, and am gonna add it to my list of favs--and, if there was room, I'd probably have half your works on it.

You have to grow older, you never have to grow up! I like this!
Genius prodigy!
Wow, I am forever amazed Dave...(= My daughter spent the better part of her modeling years in the care of a crafter while I was in college. From the age of about 2 through 8, she watched this woman make art out of bits of this and that. Each day was a little something new to add to the fridge. Today she is 16 years old and has just created 18 polygons for some folks I work with, each bit of paper hand colored and carefully folded...I hope we never grow up. Thank you for the flash back Dave! (=
Lol, what a fantastic render Dave! Love the words you put with this too...bravo!
I've got 'two' problems: (1) I've never been nor will be an 'artist'. (2) I won't grow up. Superb artwork!
