Wow, great work Bluedog. Also very moving.

Thanks fellas.

Mike you couldn't be more correct mate, so easy to get caught up in how unfair you think your own life is until you see someone like this having to face an unimaginable illness as such a tender age. Really feel for his parents too, truly devastating.

When they found out it was inoperable they packed up a their car and hit the road determined to show their son the sights of Australia before he became too ill to travel. That's how we found out about him as one of my wife's work mates met them whilst on holidays. The little lads probably lived more in the past 8 months then some adults I've met have lived in their entire lives.

Here's a pic of Cooper with his caricature all framed up, poor little dudes all swollen and wheel chair bound now. If it doesn't break your heart you aint got one..

I also decided to add to the original which includes his parents as they are just as big a hero to him as he is to them.

Brilliant work again, fantastic bud.

Heartbreaking, poor fella, class that his Mum and dad are doing this.

World can throw up some really crappy things tat are so unfair, lovely Gesture Ryan, top man

 

[grinchy]

Amazing drawings as always Mike, keep em coming mate.

Sorry to put a downer on things but this little fella unfortunately lost his battle with Brain Cancer Yesterday, brave little bloke. Amazing how someone you've never even met can affect you so profoundly. RIP Captain Cooper.

 

[Michael Sith]

Extremely sad news, RIP

 

[grinchy]

That is sad news, RIP litlle guy

 

[Bootyhunter]

That cardback pic looks ace mate, and the jawa has a cool 3d look to it, very nicely done

 

[Michael Sith]

Cheers Grincy
Enjoyed doing this as it was a bit different, it's come out ok I think, never be mistaken for Repro anyway :lol:

I would describe it as "rustic" :?

Branching out is going well Mike! Good effort there pal. Border looks tricky. No idea how you would improve it without the use of paints.

 

[Joe]

Looks pretty good to me Mike, nice one!

 

[tiefighterboy]

Loving the new work Mike. 8)

 

[Michael Sith]

It was never going to be a work of art :? A rustic rendition is what I call it :wink:

I don't want to go down the route of precise facsimile so the stuff I attempt will always be free looking and " organic"
God loves a trier

Anyway I enjoyed doing it

Cheers for the comments guys

 

[grinchy]

The finished piece looks ace mate, and i like your painting style, very nice

A lovely piece from Michael Sith arrived for me in the post today; love it and a perfect fit in my focus rubbing shoulders with both great vintage Han items and other wonderful Art - thank you good sir!
