Pop sketch

by carina_gino20 on Feb 17, 2011 8:45 AM CST

Here's a new sketch I made of Pop looking like a homeless man. I can't remember where I got the photo or when it was published. But it's the classic Pop stare. You're not quite sure what he's thinking.

Is he gonna scream at you? Banish you to the bench? Turn you into stone? It's time to find out what the stare really means.

You really captured him!

Now, let him go! If he returns, he’s yours. If he doesn’t, he never was.

Wow. That’s fantastic.

He looks kind of like a old Beat poet somehow. Is he . . . wearing a turtleneck?

Thumbs up! I didn’t realize Pop is a modern day version of Ernest Hemingway.

Cool.

Wow! Beautiful work carina. You might want to rethink your ‘I only do it for fun’ position on this. I really like this. I wonder if Pop would like it too?
