Using an online doodling application.
I love it - it just seems to work.
I'm thinking Sarkozy - with that insufferable smug half-smile he puts on everytime he wants to act all post-ironic and meta-clever, and other neo-logisms with a dash involved.
Or maybe it's the local Greek Sandwich tycoon - which is all you need to know (about Sarkozy).

It's just me admiring myself.
With Photoshop.
I did try to embeautify, but there was a bug...
(I'm not embeautifiable).
EDIT.
I got a very irrate, not to say outright rude, letter from A. Schmuck of the Schmuck, Vetburger and Frietjes cabinet of lawyers delivered today.
Acting on behalf of a "Disnae Wine Buff", they complained that I failed to credit the above photo.
Somehow they worked out that I didn't take it myself.
Clever people, these ambulance-chasers. And very hungry.
So, the above photograph is copyright "Dafney Van Gogh" 2010, in all dominions of the King and beyond. Even, but not limited to, the ends of the earth.

Bankers paying themselves bonii - like giving oneself sexii - five-fingered-widow stylii.
In the mean time, here's a picture of the people who pay the motherfucking bill.

Painter, Photoshop, too much time to kill, and a mouse.
I'm not actually this good looking.
Nurse says I must take my meds now.

This is how I do it - no, really : I wash most of my stuff by hand.
Got into the habit when I was living in a kind-of squat, it has a nice zen vibe to it.

Beautiful woman.
Oil Pastels, difficult to work with, but well worth the effort.
The pastels, not the woman. Heh.
I think she used to sing with Portishead or summat - anyway, disnae matter, she is gorgeous.

Wrapping paper, acrylics and varnish.
(The varnish darkens the paper, and brings out the white. It's a magical process)
I got a lot of mileage out of that piece of wrapping paper.

Lots of different paints and inks on an inside out cereal packet (probably).
Robert Del Naja. A.k.a. "3d"
From my "copy everything Anton Corbijn has ever done" days.

Pencil, paper and paint. Pretty traditional media there.
Some arrogant West-Coast rapper from the 90's. With a mullet.
Does anyone recognise him ? Ice something or other.

Ink pen, brush and water. 1990.
Kinda looks like the East-African father of a future United States President, but I do tend to let my imagination run away with me.
(In 1990, when I did this, Obama was editor of the Harvard Law Review. I'd never heard of the guy - but then, neither had you.)

Cheap wrapping paper, acrylics, diluted wood varnish.
Here's a devil I did way back when.
I've miraculously been sent some of my old stuff that I thought lost forever.
So I'll be posting some of it here.
Edit : it's Irvine Welsh. With Horns.

Cheap wax crayons on crappy printer paper.
Back by popular demand.
Well, Tom, if you must know.

Anyroad, this is a tiger I drew to amuse a ketje.

Pentel, felt-tip pen, another beer-coaster."Ugly ? Beautiful ? Who can say ?"
If you say it in the manner of that ditzy secretary out of AbFab, it can be moderately comical.
