Zhang Fei’s is pretty good. what do these guys paint when no one tells ‘em to? What do you do to chill if you’re working solid in the office painting?
Is it possible poor kids from the jiangxi province are better off than poor kids from putney because the sh*t job they’ll do when they grow up is painting?

Well, can not always see the link with the style of the artist they copy in their selfportrait .. colours and slightly the style here and there. But they all have done a way better job on a self portrait than I’d have done!
Too bad, no Salvador Dali in it.
