I finished this guy last night, another face from Crimestoppers page in our paper. I’ve been painting these guys for quite a while. I used to paint directly from the tiny pictures and then I started scanning them, blowing them up and painting from print outs. It was a little easier to paint from a bigger source but the quality didn’t improve any. And then I discovered the police were putting the files online at a decent size with no dot pattern! I downloaded the pdfs for a few months and worked from those. I just checked the site for the new flier and it’s a tiny .gif file so I called their hotline and asked the officer if there was any way to get a bigger file. He had me call an Officer Renee but her message said she’d be out of the office until after the Thanksgiving holiday.
