Modern Man Painting

Here's a few process shots from my latest painting for Portland's Modern Man Barbershop. This place is one of my favorite businesses in Portland, and they just opened a new location on Hawthorne (where this piece is going up). Over the last few months, I've become a regular, and I'm just really enthusiastic about the whole business and their aesthetic. Shot of whiskey on your way in, fantastic haircuts, shoe shines, straight razor shaves, etc., and a cigar on your way out. It's a wonderful model, and really affordable (important for the likes of me, who typically goes way too long between cuts). One day I asked the owner, Chris, if he'd be interested in commissioning a painting for their space, and happily, he dug the idea.

I'm not sure when this is going up (above the barbershop's fireplace!) , but regardless, you should head down and get yourself a haircut from these people. It's a lot of fun.
