Life Imitates Art
Heath Ledger sat for this haunting portrait only weeks before his death last month. The painting, which portrays the late actor as sallow and depressed, also incorporates some very simple symbolism that artist Vincent Fantauzzo feels the need to explain to death: "…it was about how we all have different consciences and voices in our head that tell us what to do and how to react. They're not good or bad, they're just voices that we hear, telling us how to behave. That's what the other figures are in the painting."

Holy shit that is a painting?! That is amazing.
I went to his website. I am envious of his abilities.
SCREW THAT WHERES THE DRUG USE VIDEO?
Wow. Unintentionally prophetic.
He looks dead.
At first glance, I thought it was a photo. That guy is very talented. It's just too bad how eerily prophetic the painting turned out to be.
Okay, I have to say this…when I first saw this painting right after Heath died, I immediately thought it looked exactly like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Oddly enough, they both co-starred in 10 Things I Hate About You! ……..freaky.
Wow…that is amazing. Just stunning artistic talent! And yes a bit creepy also! Poor Heath.
HE IS DEAD
I saw this painting a few weeks ago, so I checked out Vincent Fantauzzo. His work is UH-mazing.
