portraits from dektown, usa

gonna have some stuff on display from march 20th to april 15th (or so) at a stinkweeds recordstore in tempe, az (www.stinkweeds.com). these two pieces will be in it, othello and iago, as well as quite a few more, but i'm not sure which ones yet. hopefully i'll be able to finish some of the new stuff that i'm working on.

iago lost the snake tattoo in the oils, hopefully it'll get put back in some day.
