I started the Cary Grant portrait in the end of April, 2005, while watching Antz
on my laptop. I chose Grant following the decision to start drawing classic film actors
to decorate the apartment with. Eh, gives you a goal, right? Well, when picking who to follow
up a recently finished Harpo Marx portrait, Cary came to mind. The last night I worked on
it, I picked it up around 1 AM and worked through til 7AM (watched My Favorite Wife,
starring Grant, followed by an edited version of The Matrix. Great combo, huh?) when
I'd finally finished the drawing that morning on Mother's Day, May 8th. Scanned it, printed it
out, framed it, and gave it to my Grandmother for Mother's Day. Just seeing how excited she
was was worth every second of toiling over this drawing. It's not perfect, but I'm mostly
happy with it. And it's an honor to draw an amazing actor!
