I have to give a million hand claps to the very first person that would come around and talk to me about art. @Sevenseize https://sevenseize.newgrounds.com/ was the one of the first to flatter me.

She would say, "Your work reminds me of Toulouse-Lautrec https://www.toulouse-lautrec-foundation.org/ which I have held that to my heart.

When I do ink works I always try to keep in mind that I have a lot to live up to. I did a piece of portrait work to continue with my Traditional Ink Studies, and reproduced "Rebecca."

Well not being satisfied with one piece, I began to work on another and though I have not colored it, I wanted to show off the ink presentation:

The study likes it and thinks the whole idea is grand. Nothing bad to say about the stylizing and no questions as to why I chose to go this direction than what I did previously. To me they are much the same. I know when I begin to apply the color, I will shape the hair, more defined and play with the light more than before to continue the congruence of the heavy ink application.

This is why I have been so happy. Because I have been slinging ink as I was taught from the years of being under pressure. I would take images of people while I was in the prison and for a cup of coffee, I would produce portraits and pin-ups for the men. For myself. For guards and birthdays of the children of the employed.

Well enough of that.

I can day dream all day. When I apply the color I will be sure to update you on that process and how I plan to enhance her more exotic features in her face.

I have not heard from @SevenSeize in a while. I have not had much trouble to report and little reason to flirt after the dress down she gave me last time. In a year though it would be nothing for me to buy that new cellphone you wanted to take pictures of your back yard barbecues, you have without me. I am so hungry right now.

That is all for now guys I am going to be coloring the above art work for a while, inking more panels for more stories and working on the plot for Vincent de Valmont, I feel like I want him to get in as much trouble as I do on a regular basis and introduce more characters that tear stuff up with him.
