Update #3: New Portraits + Portfolio
Hey all,
It's been too long since my last update, school and life have sapped my time, but that is no excuse for my absence. As recompense and proof of life, I hope you will all accept a batch of new portraits which puts my total at around twenty.

I
also wanted to announce that these portraits will be a part of an art
exhibition I am having at a local gallery here in California. The show
is in February, so all of them will have to be done by then. The fire is
really underneath me now.
As an additional bit of encouragement
for all of your continued support of me in this long quest to paint 35
likenesses (likeness is hard!). Please check out my new portfolio. All
of the pieces you see in my portfolio were made this year, so the
training that all of you helped me to receive helped me in turn to make
these pieces of art, all of which are permissively licensed under a CC BY-SA
license. I hope that though this project has taken me some time to
complete, you are all still happy to have helped me procure a finer art
education with which to pursue free culture projects
