I still have a chance. I have a beard.

These are all really good portraits in their own right, Bongo - I love your style!

I personally couldn't pick any of these people out of a crowd, so can't comment on resemblance.

 

[Bongo]

Wayne, Terri thanks for coming by.
Terri - there are no pictures or records of these three, they remain anonymous despite all their notoriety.
That is until now

So NOW we know what they look like. Love that loose style of painting, Bongo.

Thanks Sno - not having to get a "likeness" takes a lot of the pressure off of making a portrait. I couldn't find too many modern-day figures that were well-known and anonymous. Found a few serial killers but not too many others.

I love the premise, but I also love the paintings! These are amazing--the style and technique. I love your style. Always have.

 

[Bongo]

Thanks Ayin!

Great images.
Love the Banksy one particularly....

Some musician friends of mine were endowed with a Banksy artwork...a story I am sure I recounted here previously.

Thanks Dave. I had a hard time getting Banksy to hold still so I could do his portrait.

I didn't know you did portraits, Bongo. These are good!
