his is the second expression of my
Keanu Reeves obsession. Though I very much liked the color painting of Keanu, few people
recognized him. Consequently, I decided to do a second drawing with a more obvious
likeness. For the first time in my work, the face is from one photo and the clothes, hair,
and background from another. I wanted to draw Keanu in the setting from the film "My
Own Private Idaho." Unfortunately, there were no suitable picture, so I substituted
the face of a publicity still from the movie "Point Break". Everyone recognizes
this likeness.
