       @frykitty @sennoma This is easy: Jerry PinkneyBecause I know he can draw ants and I'd want to have ants in the portrait. Also, he's work just blows me away.

       If you could have anyone, past or present, paint your portrait,  who would you choose, and why?I chose Holbein, @sennoma chose Van Dyke.I know some of you weirdos are gonna choose Lucian Freud.#art

       @frykitty @futurebird I’m going with El Greco but only if I can convince him to zoom out and paint me as an element of the scene rather than the focus of it. View of Toledo took my breath away and I was heartbroken to find out it was one of just two surviving landscapes he did.

       @sennoma I chose Holbein because his subjects look like they could step out of the canvas and shake your hand.  I love how he made history come alive.

       @frykitty @sennoma I'm trying to think of other artists who I *know* can draw ants... I know who can't draw ants.. Dali. Terrible ants. MC Escher is good though.

       @futurebird unfortunately for both of us, he was rather intensely focused on religious imagery
