Thanks, Brian. Those are friends and acquaintances from my art school years. They're done from memory.

Great paintings, Kira! Why not do one of Paul using this as a reference?

That's Paul's Assie look.

Cool work, Jeff! Great land and cityscape compositions, and wonderful portraits. Who are the guys at the piano?

Did you mean Aussie, Jeff?

Did you mean Aussie, Jeff?

Um, yeah, that's it! Here is the u I forgot!

The guys at the piano are a local Cleveland TV personality from the '60 that went by Biggie Wilson (seated) and Tony Bennett. This is at the old WHK studios.

Tony Bennett?!! How awesome. He's famous around here. I met him and got his picture in 1989:

I fired off about 30 frames in just under 5 seconds. This was the best, though they were all great. You cannot take a bad picture of Tony, he's always in character.

Those old process are really fun and challenging. My interest was much more basic.
