Hello, hello, hello....
Artwork #3 was created by a fan named Agustín from Argentina. Agustín is from Rosario, a big fan of football (soccer for the Americans) and of course a HUGE fan of Maradona, Che Guevara, Evita Peron and big Argentinian steaks. However, he discovered my work through a boxing list I wrote for List 25.
Apparently, he thought that the GREAT Carlos Monzon should be #1 (25 Greatest Boxers Outside North America) but for all Monzon's greatness, I still feel like he has achieved a little less than the likes of Laszlo Papp, Manny Pacquiao and Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran!
To make a long story short, his criticism and frustration over my list's rank led to a great friendship and mutual admiration. At some point (in 2015 I think), Agustín moved to Buenos Aires from his hometown Rosario, so he could pursue his professional ambitions and dreams.
He ended up designing the tattoos for one of the most popular tattoo shops in Argentina's capital, where he actually met his current fiancée as well (BIG HUGS to Martina!!!!!!!!!)
On May 4, 2017 (my birthday) he created the following portrait in honour of our 3-year (last year that was) friendship. As you probably know by now, these things make me more happy than all the money in the world...
I personally think that he did a GREAT JOB as his artwork was based on this photo of mine...
This is my "Straight Outta Corinth" photo and truth be told, I would be beyond belief happy if he could have created a realistic copy of the tee, but oh well. This tee is from the last live concert of Prodigy in Bristol (I have attended 6 different lives in 5 different countries from 1999 to 2015...I LOVE THE PRODIGY).
So, which one was the best in your opinion?
Artwork III (this post)
I can't pick one as I treasure and APPRECIATE all of them the same! You can tell me what you see/think though :))))
Nice art work of Agustin. You look more handsome 😀
Awwwwww, my 100% vote for that comment ha ha ha! Thank you :))))
Hahahaha 😂... thx you brother, greeting from Jakarta, Indonesia...
Cool how you get these made! And the variety makes it that much better! My favorite is the first one... but perhaps this one (#3) should be your avatar...? Yeah and the shirt would have been cool in this one but then he would’ve had a lot more work to do haha. Of course we can’t forget cyborg #hispanyeezy
Oh wow this is amazing!! Thumbs up for Agustin!! I envy your fans a little bit :P
Noooo, don't be envious of them please lol. Well, start writing for international websites with millions of fans and create your own english (language) blog and in time you will gain many fans. Way more than me as you are way sweeter and cuter than me too 😉
hahah oh thanks :P
He is very talented, it is a great artwork. Have a nice weekend!
You too @allesia. I hope you have a great weekend beautiful :)
I like the way in which your illustrations do not put so many details and you capture the essence of the character, I had not seen your work I think you are one of the good artistic examples of Steemit.
I like all of the drawings, but especially this one and the second one, I love snapback caps.
Now I LOVE snapback caps. I always have loved them. I have a huge collection. I hope i see you wearing one in one of your posts. I am sure you will look great :)
