Mason



This portrait was painted using acrylic (a medium I am not comfortable in). The subject, too, proved uncomfortable to portray on canvas. The Mason is calculating, secretive, and, like the Mekon (click on the above image to view), capable of exceptional wickedness, ie peas out of the same pod.

Mekon



This is the earliest of three portraits of Kevin Richard Chesham. A version preceded it (below) that is almost identical, but substantially of an altered hue, and found in photographs of gallery exhibits. I ceased exhibiting the subject in 2007. Alternate versions are titled Fool and Judas. The latter can be viewed by clicking on the above image which is titled Mekon. Chesham is universally known as The Mekon. The Mekon first appeared in issue #30 of the Eagle comic on 2 November 1950. Chesham was born three years later. The Mekon is a villain who is capable of any wicked action.
