And odd thing happened to me as I searched for a new project following my disastrous "Faces of Frisco" project. O.K., not disastrous. Just disappointing. I thought people would like seeing their visage on the wall and want to give my over-sized acrylics a permanent home in their media room. Regardless I had fun. And isn't that what it's all about? Two people who know a lot about art bought two of the portraits. God bless them. But getting back to Botticelli...here I was searching for a new project when Sandro Botticelli came to me in a dream. "Caio, Neilo," he said. "I need someone to update my portraits. I want to give them a contemporary twist. I want to see them in the latest from the GAP." So at Sandro's behest, I have started updating his portraits. I haven't heard back from him, but I think they look better already. I mean, the clothes that they were wearing in the sixteenth century now look so, well, dated. I hope to continue this project until I run out of images or someone from the Botticelli Preservation Society approaches me with a cease and desist. Believe me, if the price is right, I'll consider it.
