Artist's Comments

9.5 x 9.5, acrylic on illustration board

"There are many sides to Serpico. A hero who is hated. A loner who is loved. And to some people, the most dangerous man alive - an honest cop."

Here we have my own take on the man, not trying to represent Al Pacino per se, but I guess a mythic kind of portrayal of the real Frank (Paco) Serpico. It's a little weird, just because I used myself as a model for this, so now we all know what I'd look like if I had a mustache.

Anyway, if you've never seen the movie, you should do that, because it kicks ass on bountiful levels

This is great.
I wonder how you worked the background color. Do you use many paint layers there?
