It is obvious that two paint jams have been giving me plenty of material to write about; Dibz’ and Minto’s birthdays, I think both turned 50 this autumn. This Halloween Count Dracula piece by Jody was to celebrate Dibz half- century.
As portrait pieces by Jody go, this one isn’t, in my view, his best, not because of the obvious quality, but because it somehow doesn’t quite sit right with me. It happens from time to time and I can’t explain it. Perhaps it is the cape, which could do with more texture and folds, or maybe the red lips… of course, I am being unbelievably picky, it is a great portrait piece by a superb artist.

Definitely the lips take this a knotch down

I’m glad you agree. I didn’t know if I was being too picky.

He’s actually painted Bela Lugosi playing Dracula from the 1931 film of the same name, something he’s always wanted to do and I reckon he’s painted it well indeed . . .

Great extra info. I has a poster with lots of Hollywood film pictures in black and white as a kid, and one of them was that same picture.
