A couple of new ones - Bill Donovan

I love this anonymous painting from the National Gallery of Art, the National Gallery calls it "The Letter," and it's dated around 1825. Some parts of it are sophisticated and some parts are absolutely terrible. This image is a composite I made from both the normal image, and the negative.
I made a study of the painting, it's pencil on paper - 8 x 10 inches. I think I am going to make a painting as well. I really like this image.
Here is another pancake ghost person. This is pencil on paper, 8 x 10 inches. This one isn't as good as the last one, but I am trying to just keep working non-stop so I can build a body of work that looks good for a show + gives me somewhere to go and mature with another body of work.
