His Royal Badness

Hope Germick doesn't mind me sharing this since it is his birthday present, after all. What you see here is the result of: a really shitty inconsistently dry/leaky cheap brush pen, dollar store watercolors, Google image search, and a crazed fervor to pump out a mediocre portrait as a sad gift an hour before the birthday party. I'm not pleased with it, but at least my roommate could tell it was The Purple One, and Peg said she liked it which means a lot (who cares if the birthday boy likes it!). Also, the great thing about screwing up the proportions on Prince portraits is that it's okay, because he is naturally a bobblehead. So in this case, a large head and small body work just fine. PS - the hamminess is intentional. PPS - in the original picture I couldn't find his nipples. True story!

This is hot. You have captured something very inappropriate and mischievous here! In the blown up version, I'm loving that pasley park purple lower left corner. Happy birthday to Germick :)

Hard to believe, but me & alice's purple moment is coming up in the not too distant future. The 5 yr anniversary of our first date: a Prince concert on September 11 :B
