This is a quick painting, it's kind of unfinished
(especially the hair and t-shirt), but I like it this way.
I intend to make at least 10 other portraits and
caricatures of the great Mika in the coming weeks.

.

MIKA is a London-based, Grammy-nominated
and BRIT Award-winning singer-songwriter.

A carbon tax is an environmental tax on emissions of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a heat-trapping "greenhouse" gas. The purpose of a carbon tax is to protect the environment by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate climate change.

This is a speed painting that took me some 20 minutes
of work. I made the first sketch in about 2 minutes
in Alchemy and then went on in Photoshop CS4
