john marx - 2008

i am currently studying journalism, and am less then inspire by the idea of going into that profession. during the course of 2008 i sat through many boring lectures on the field that did little to rouse any enthusiasm, until i saw john marx. john gave a talk about hwo he researched an award winning feature article on russel crowe, he had a no bullshit approach that i really stirred something in me, so as he was talking i did a prelim sketch of him. i had had this canvas for quite sometime and had spent hundreds of dollars of materials on it, each time being unsatisfied and covering it up. john gave me an answer as to what should be on the canvas.
