My take on Egon Schiele - died at 28, 1918. Drawn with pen, colored with art markers and oil pastels. And I finally broke that big blank white page phobia barrier thing - these are 8 1/2 X 11.

I really enjoy Egons work as well.. But didnt know he died so young.. dang.. what a shame.. the good ones burn out rather than fade away.
It is sad. He died (3 days after his) in the influenza epidemic that swept Europe in 1918. I just went into debt with an amazon purchase of art books - Eron's among others. Can't wait.
I must be tired. I meant to say that he died 3 days after his wife and his name is Egon not Eron as I well know. Oh well, back to drawing.
And Thank You! He is great. I hope some of his style remains with me though it's so very different from my own bright colors.
Luv illustration #2, 'alone'. Very cool !
Egon Schiele was among the last giants of arts and literature that died out with WWI. After that war there was a great shift from deep thinkers and thinking, to a kind of capitalist thinking that led the eventual dumbing down of philosophhy, literature and arts. So said an art teacher I had not too long ago. Makes sense to me. I have a good portion of Egon's work embedded on my hard drive, and you've inspired me to look at it again, maybe with different eyes this time. thanks.

Thank you. More Egon is on it's way (as soon as I receive that bank busting amazon order).
