I watched the best documentary I've seen in a while the other night.
It's called "Art & Craft" and it explores the forgeries of Laurel, Mississippi native Mark Landis.
Landis' crime was (in my opinion) fairly harmless because he didn't profit from any of his forgeries - he was being a philanthropist.
The thing is... the guy is really a great artist.
Anyway, I did this really - really quickly tonight. Just basically throwing the paint on the canvas. I plan to refine it more - I see about a hundred things I need to change. But I wanted to post a before, so I can gauge the "after"!
By the way, I'm planning to send this to him.
