I enjoy portraits of controversial figures.  Love'em or hate'em they're hard to resist.  Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is one of those figures to me.  I not a fan of his opinions but I thought he was worth an atttempt at a portrait.  He's combative yet eloquent in interviews.  But the thing that cracks me up the most is his hand gesturing.  A New York vernacular.
I was inspired by Andy Warhol's use of color shapes superimposed and transparent on the portraits.
