Now this is the other way round. I decided to go after Che, and then got inspired to see stuff about him. The Motorcycle Diaries - a feature film, and a documentary on how there are a gazillion instances of Che's images in pop fashion and culture - Chevolution. Both are quite interesting. He remains the guy on the t-shirt, or a symbol of rebellion, or a gray character with mixed ideals - based on which side of the story you are on.

This is acrylics on canvas of size 24x30 inches.

Che Guevara is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom.

indeed, he's quite an admirable person and a human being.
though i'll add, not everything he did was deemed right. i guess no one is always right.
I hope you have become a fan of CHE..
he must have inspired/intrigued you though for you to paint him & upload it.
Che by S.soderbergh is another movie i will recommend.
and last but not the least nice painting especially the pop version.
Thanks! I donno if I'm a fan, but yea he's an interesting and admirable guy.
