chuck close is a definite favorite of mine. good thread.

 

there's a video/dvd of chuck working on a painting. haven't had a chance to see it yet. has anyone?

 

My design teacher showed us the footage of him working, his canvas is put on this axis for rotation and he works while in his wheel chair, its actually pretty amazing considering his limited mobility.

i didnt know he used an airbrush. in the video, he has a brush kind of straped onto his hand because i guess he cant hold it. kind of like this
