Last Friday I told you that Arnon's print had turned out a tad dark. I took the weekend to think about it, and then I decided I was not going to be happy with it. It was too large as well. The portrait was a rush job when I did it, and the original drawing is really small. I knew the newspaper wasn't going to print it very big either. And the print just didn't work at 30 cm high. So I decided to have a new one done. I made it considerably lighter, and scaled it to 25 cm. And now I am happy, it turned out really well. Of course I am losing a little money on it now, but I had two done, and I am keeping one. Which I will frame, like I did with Arjan Visser.
