vimeo.com/forums/topic:945

As you can probably guess by the title, this is a portrait of Fuzzy Dave. This is actually the second time I did this portrait. The first time I completely screwed up the filming. However, it did point out to me a way of setting my camera to pick out the colour a bit better (the last portrait I did looked a lot darker than it actually was - despite being well lit vimeo.com/clip:135339 ).

I keep looking off to the side because the cat was making some wierd noises (fortunately not picked up by my camera) which later turned out to be a hairball.

I hope you like it Fuzzy Dave :)

Music: 'Muffin Man' by Frank Zappa

    I love it when stuff lines up like when Frank Zappa says "He puts forth a quarter ounce green rosette" just as I'm drawing the rosette like badge of the helmet (0:54). Also the fast drum roll just as I'm drawing all the little lines in the circle of the badge (1:35).

    Were/are you an artist? Just 'cause you have the fancy graphite pencils and all of the portraits you've done have been really good!
  • Buck Flashroy 2 years ago
    Wow, thanks, but no! I didn't even take it for GCSEs (exams you take at age 16 in the UK). It's just a hobby. To be honest, I've hardly done any at all in the last couple of years apart from these projects! The pencils are quite cheap :p

    Frank Zappa is the perfect background for this
  • Buck Flashroy 2 years ago
    Yeah, I chose it because Fuzzy Dave's AIM name is muffinbuttum, but also it does fit quite well. It's a good song.
  • islebehere 2 years ago
    agreed on the background music

    I love that fuzzy dave gave your cat a hairball through the internet/piece of paper.
  • Buck Flashroy 2 years ago
    That's just how fuzzy he is!

    The music really does work with this - guitar solo just as your hand goes into super-speed on the beard and hair - wicked!

    Why'd you keep looking over to your right?
  • Amanda 2 years ago
    Oh man, I just read the rest of the description. Haha. Kidding!
  • Buck Flashroy 2 years ago
    Yeah, like Lex said (above) that's just how fuzzy FuzzyDave is - even a picture of him can give a cat a hairball from 10 paces!!!
