Today I was inspired by Willem Dafoe.

Love his face. His cheekbones, his jaw... very distinctive features. And it seems like he can go normal / handsome

so creepy |
Sorry my painting doesn't do him justice. It ended up looking like a Clint Eastwood / Willem Dafoe mug-shot mashup.
I googled him to find a picture, and ended up finding this interview he did.
I've never heard of The Old Woman. It's got Dafoe and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Now I want to see it.
That interview and some of his quotes on IMDB made me like him even more. Seems like he is creative and good at what he does, but also low-key and grounded. You go, Willem Dafoe.
