How many, how man boys are crazy, how many boys are raw?

Here's a sneak into my next portrait... It's M.I.A. She's one cool chick and I can't get enough of her. Watch her "Boyz" video here.

Anyway, I think I just need to give this piece some air as I realize that I've forgotten how to paint efficiently and successfully in the last couple months. Between working on distortion and meaningful portraiture, I don't think my brain can wrap itself around anything else at the present moment. Well, that and a full time job managing a gigantic beginning-of-season design project :) Cheers for cash, jeers for forgetfulness and crappy paintings!
