Description
"James Dean"...A brief history!...
James Dean had one of the most spectacularly brief careers of any screen star. In just more than a year, and in only three films, Dean became a widely admired screen personality, a personification of the restless American youth of the mid-50's, and an embodiment of the title of one of his film Rebel Without A Cause. En route to compete in a race in Salinas, James Dean was killed in a highway accident on September 30, 1955. James Dean was nominated for two Academy Awards, for his performances in East of Eden and Giant. Although he only made three films, they were made in just over one year's time. Joe Hyams, in the James Dean biography Little Boy Lost, sums up his career.

This is my first ever tablet-painted
portrait. Referenced from several
celebrity stock photos, I began
with a cursory sketch brought it
into PSP8 and then began to
paint with my Wacom Intuos 2 tablet.
What always seemed illusive to me,
at least up until now, just seemed
to flow onto the screen.
The (tablet) painting was done entirely
in PSP8. The background, frame, and
eyes were also done in PSP8, along
with some final touch-ups such as,
...soft focus and clarify and work
on the frame itself.
I hope you like it! Thank you so much
for stopping by. Of course, your comments
and critiques are always welcome!...Cheryl
