With so much depressing news taking center stage lately, it's good to know that true art doth prevail, never ceasing to bring joy and gladness. Black velvet paintings came into popular fashion from the 1950s to the 1970s with the most recognizable being Velvet Elvis, always symbolizing the ultimate in bad taste.
Not be left out, Apple's beloved CEO, Steve Jobs, has now been brilliantly immortalized in god-like style on authentic black velvet. For me it was love at first sight, though I was a bit sad the artist didn't choose the garish fluorescent colors typically used to paint a velvet masterpiece.
The likeness of Jobs created here by Angela Wells, is a fitting reminder that some subjects are best left to memory. Though his eyes do follow you around the room in a very creepy way. What a unique way of saying... welcome back Steve.

The thick beard on his face is unreal, just like wool.

The eyes won't follow you around the room. If she wanted that effect, she would have drawn them facing directly at the viewer, not looking slightly up..

The eyes aren't right. Jobs has always had that devilish look to his eyes. Kind of a Spock eyebrow thing. The eyes in the painting look too relaxed or even happily stoned.

actually, the eyes won't follow you around the room. If she wanted that effect, she would have drawn them facing directly at the viewer, not looking slightly up... (kinda lazy eyed actually.) :P
