The First EVER Gregg O’Connell Painting

Category: , ,

And you thought I was just some no-name blogger with a cute face! I’m obviously more versatile than you thought. My photos are now as infamous as my words.

I received an email from an artist by the name of Lee Wilde.

“Hi Gregg

I thought you might find this amusing…I did a painting based on your photo, “Thizz Face” which you posted on Flickr. I’m afraid it does not look much like you anymore…I was more interested in trying to capture the expression.”

Thizz Face

I think the painting kind of looks like me an Italian wise guy mobster doesn’t it?

    I think it’s more like a Warhol than a di Vinci - modern, daring, and complex. Sound like you?
