Joe Mazzello

Portrait of Joe Mazzello as Eugene Sledge in The Pacific.

Painted this painting with custom brushes that I’ve made myself, instead of other people’s presets. It made me realise how much I like painting uniforms.

The Pacific is such a heartbreaking show, and I tried to convey some of that in this painting. I’d never done camouflage before, and that was a challenge, but I’m really proud of how it turned out. I seem to have mastered the art of blurry backgrounds.
