This guy, Michael Shapcott, does some interesting portraits. He focuses on women, and he works in the combination of ink, colored pencil, and paint (my guess is either acrylic or opaque watercolour). His pieces are interesting because of what he adds to the portrait: symbols, spontaneous streaks of paint, and his creative but minimal use of color. In one piece especially (the title is unknown), I think his use of line to create the illusion of scarification is unique. I also admire the organic shapes. God knows why they're there. But it works. It's well thought out but impulsive at the same time.
