It's been a while since I've posted on here, so please excuse me while I play a little catch-up on days gone by.
In early February, we stopped by the "Presidential Hams" show at the art gallery inside Powell's City of Books. It's a series of paintings by an enigmatic Portland artist named Bijijoo, depicting every single past (and present) U.S. president holding a ham. Bijijoo does a lot of cool portraits of celebrities and historical figures. Here are two of my faves from the presidential portraits:
It was interesting noting the different positions of the hands and the ham in each portrait. It seemed like the same hand model may have been used for all of them, because the hands all pretty much look the same. I applaud this guy for his handy-work, since hands are one of the most difficult things in the world to depict convincingly!
They even had two papier-mache hams for posing! Here are Ilan & me in our hammy presidential portraits:

He should have used US as the hand models.
