Charlie E Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I'm always late to the party but I recently binged all the seasons of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul in a little over a month. Mike Ehrmantraut, a nice hit man , played by Jonathan Banks, was probably my favorite character. I worked from a painting/drawing I found on Pinterest.

I mean aside from the fact that he was a murdering thief who worked for drug dealers, he was a stand up guy.

Very detailed work. Thanks Rodney. Definitely didn’t want to drop it. It actually cracked across the letter m on the bottom when I was sanding it. Thankfully an easy fix.

Even though I really like the grain of Red Oak, the problem with it splitting along the grain is ever present.

MarieC Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Charlie, Amazing work as always. Banks has been acting a long time. I remember him in some movies I think as far back as the 1980's. I haven't watched this latest show though. Well done! heppnerguy and Charlie E 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted July 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Thank you! He did a wonderful job in this series. Kind of a despicable character, but you couldn't help but like him. MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! My portraits usually go from my saw, to taking a picture, to hanging on my shop wall, so I truly appreciate these nice words from you and others! I get joy from making them, but I really love hearing that other people enjoy them too. One of my favorites that I cut before I began making patterns is your Eric Clapton pattern. I'm still impressed at how lifelike you made the pattern. Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
