The song "Human Behaviour" was what inspired me to buy Bjork's "Debut" album. At the same time, I was honing my skills as an enamel portrait artist, so she made for a great test boxject. The only difference between the painting and my source is that the painting is a colorized version of the black-and-white album photo.
This 16x20 portrait holds the record for fastest painting: I completed it within twelve hours. Makes me somewhat miss the days of unemployment. Ethan looks rather sharp when he's not the commander of a bumbling star fleet.
She was painted in 1993, but eight years later, I entered her in a downtown art show where she won 2nd place in 'other' media. That's the beauty of working with enamel paint: less competition.
