Random Portraits : Jay as Edward Norton

The ninth seemlingly random portrait 12″ *12″ inches in oil on stretched canvas. This time Jay as Edward Norton in Fight Club, it only occured to me after suggesting Edward Norton to Jay that his character has no name in the film. Many thanks to Jay for the reference pictures as he did an absolutely fantastic job of getting into character even to the extent of not shaving for a week before he took the snaps !
Completely off topic but has anyone been watching “the Armstrongs” on BBC 2 at 10pm ? If you haven’t then watch it, its like a real life version of the office set in a Coventry based double glazing firm only much funnier. This week the managing director decided to unsuccessfully to sack his entire frankly useless sales team and then came up with the idea of a conservatory for dogs. His wife also suggested as a morale booster after he’d made one member redundant they take the team on a plane somewhere exotic…. like Blackpool or Bournemouth. It is truly superb telly.
P>S I still can’t get his bloody hands right !!!! GRRRRRRRR…..

Hands.
The hands are fine. Like I said, the one in the picture was pretty badly smashed in a bike accident, it doesn’t look like a normal hand in real life!

Just call him “Narrator.” Or you could call him Tyler, because well… you know.. Lovely painting of Jay. I’m sure it’s wonderfully lifelike.
