Colbert and the 3 Bears
Hey everybody! How've you been? So, I know I haven't posted in some while but that doesn't mean I haven't been working on stuff. The above is a piece I've been working on for a while. It depicts Stephen Colbert relaxing after taking care of a small but dangerous portion of
America's bear problem. It's actually just a raw scan that still needs a little of that Photoshop magic but I wanted to post something.
I also wanted to post it because I actually met Mr.Colbert tonight at a signing for his new book "I Am America (And So Can You!)" and gave him a print of it as a gift. It was pretty cool, actually, because as he was putting it with some other stuff he had received, he stopped to look at it closer and said it was "beautiful" and thanked me for it. Also, he wasn't personalizing the books, so he wasn't asking anyone's name but as he was signing it he asked me mine. I said "Tom" and then he said "What's your last name?" So I told him. Then he thanked me again and said "It was nice meeting you". At least I think so because I kind of blanked out at that point.
Anyway, sorry for the long post and even though I'm sure reading about this brief encounter wasn't nearly as cool as it felt, I just thought I'd share. And I'll post the final, touched up version next week. I swear.
So here's the final version of the Stephen Colbert painting I posted a couple of weeks ago (you can scroll down to see it and to read about my brief encounter with him). I actually rescanned it and then did some tweaking in Photoshop, but not as much as a thought I was going to at first. The first person to spot the differences between this version and the one previously posted gets a prize!*
