Byzantium

Now don't get me wrong - I'm not religious, however I do like Byzantine art. I was bored one evening and couldn't think what to draw. I opened an art magazine at random and this image caught my eye, so I copied it.

Spooky stare! Wonder what he's thinking about? What's for dinner? Can I resign? God, this halo's hot!

Or, I never did like that dress on you, I think you suit something with a collar. [Does he mean a dog?]

I've always liked Byzantine art as well. Great rendition Ellis.

It's a great picture. What's he thinking? I'm going with Margaret's "can I resign" thought.
