The Masterlist
Jack Sparrow - unfinished by foreverdelayed
IMPORTANT See the artwork before you read the comment, either the artist's or mine.
Done? OK.
This is a very particular artpiece. Having come across it for the first time, some four or five years ago, I was striken how strange it is. "It's good," I thought, "but it's not Jack Sparrow." Have you noticed that Jack almost never looks straight at the interlocutor? Always a bit aslant, yet always suggestive, meaningful, vivid, and never without a trace of tension, never without the everchanging restless expression. "He looks like Johnny," I thought, "disguised for Jack." A nonsense thought, wasn't it? Anyway, who's Jack, if not disguised Johnny, one can say? So you can imagine my dropping jaw when I went to the artist's comment, and found it saying: face taken from a picture of johnny and I jack-sparrow-ised it. Well, after that, can anyone still not see what is the difference between starring in a movie and creating a character? The drawing is an amazing tribute for two talents - the actor able to disappear behind a character brought to life, and the artist able to catch the difference between both of them.
