Time Out New York: Michael C. Hall

This week's "Hot Seat" portrait for Time Out New York is Dexter himself, Michael C. Hall!

Being a regular viewer of Dexter, it was fun getting to do this portrait. Having first seen Michael C. Hall as the neurotic brother on Six Feet Under, I was amazed how he could play this very different role, and do it so effectively.

Obviously, given what kind of character Dexter is, it made sense to use lots of red for this portrait. But I didn't want it to look like blood necessarily, so I went for this more painterly look.
