Lee Van Cleef (pic & sketch)

It's so secret to anyone that i enjoy watching movies. If i don't have to head into work early on Sat morning i'm glued to the tv watching AMC's classic westerns. I like Westerns because of their high sense of morals. The good guy is normally always easily defined and has a strong sense of duty and honor. I feel that those ideas are lost in today's society where there aren't to many black and white values. Of course there are but there are also quite a bit of gray values mixed in as well. If life was a movie then i guess i would be one of the gray characters who understand black, and white but always seems to fall in the gray areas.
Originally i wanted to paint this on canvas but i'm a lazy artist. The amount of time it would take me to get it to a point where i was willing to stop would be weeks from now. Instead i took up a pencil inside Panera this past Mon (i forgot it was a holiday) and began to sketch.
