Hello World!

It’s Monday, so it must be Picture of the Week time again. Every seven days I’ll peruse the recent image uploads and find one that catches my eye, then post it here, write about it and even link to it from my Twitter account.

The repetitive but informative bit:
The winning image will be on sale at a 0% markup for the week, and any sales generated in that time will get the artist double the earnings in RedBubble vouchers at a standard 30% markup.

They will also receive a special commemorative certificate and of course exposure, not the sort that gets you arrested though.

Picture of the Week Champion – Week Two – Marike Kleynscheldt

So this is an ingenious painting, I can barely operate a toothbrush, so the skill needed to wield a paintbrush (a skill Marike has in spades) always impresses me. But in particular this image, I do believe the boy is some kind of Hair-o-meter. He hangs around until you are ready to go out and then gives you an expression to represent what he thinks of your hair. In this case I believe it to be a snapshot from when he was brought before Don King.

A unique portrait and a remarkable execution.

Good Work Marike.
