(you can see the results at http://www.yoav-weiss.com/paintings/soldier_paintings.htm) <br />i'm curious as to why you chose to paint a plastic soldier and why choose this one in particular. i love their mold-warped faces and the 'plastic residue' (it's called 'flashing'). i would like to correspond with you if possible.<br />yours,<br />yoav weiss. <br />yoav_weis@yahoo.comyoav weisshttp://www.yoav-weiss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755115457203782494.post-20876307756551712712009-01-13T14:55:00.000-06:002009-01-13T14:55:00.000-06:00absolutely LOVE this painting. reminds me of my so...absolutely LOVE this painting. reminds me of my son's younger years and stepping on these little guys everywhere in the house. made it where a person couldn't go barefooted! <BR/><BR/>Great job!jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715227495752022777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755115457203782494.post-8133044162807071372009-01-13T01:12:00.000-06:002009-01-13T01:12:00.000-06:00Hey John- YOUR painting has been brewing in MY hea...Hey John- YOUR painting has been brewing in MY head for a while now! My dad had these really weird/unique plastic sci-fi figures from the 50's (army man style) that I have always wanted to capture the way you did here.
