Oh i do rather like a bit of joy division.
Nice style, too. Is this a painting?
:iconxblex:
thanks :)
nah, it's oil pastel!
:iconmlst:
It is good you think about portraying someone with epilepsy - do you know anybody else personally who has it?
:iconxblex:
hey! thanks :) and nah, i don't know anyone personally who has epilepsy. i'm re-creating this one as an oil painting at the moment.
:iconmlst:
So I wonder why you chose it as a subject for your painting?
:iconxblex:
i'm glad you asked :) this one was a draft for a bigger one i'm doing, and i'm highlighting three parts of ian curtis' life. one being his intense, radical stage presence that also demonstrates his epilepsy shown here. the others reflect his troubled isolation outside of the spotlight.
:iconmlst:
I am pleased you have decided to show somebody with an impairment - now (speaking as someone who has it), may I politely suggest you read a bit about epilepsy so if you do come across someone else who has it, you don't ask them anything stupid, like I was asked once, where I kept my insulin.
