"Man With Sign III," Spray paint, oil paint, mixed media on masonite, 3'x4'
​This is a full figure portrait that I took of a homeless man on Hollywood Blvd. sitting on a backpack.  He is sitting in between two trash cans and the background I imagined.  The trash cans show us the situation that he is in.  One of the trash cans is on fire, and there is fire around the picture.  His sign only has a rainbow on it, to represent hope.  His eyes and hair are yellow to show that he is like the sun, and the umbrella represents shelter, and there is an imagined castle in the distance, maybe he will go to someday.  He also has a pink aura.
