Heath Ledger Portrait Wins Australian Art Award

Ho_heath_portrait

This portrait of Heath Ledger, painted by artist Vincent Fantauzzo shortly before his death in January, was awarded a second-place prize by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in its annual national portrait contest. It was the popular choice among the 32,000 people who saw the exhibit, but some Oz artist who did a self-portrait of herself took first place.

I don't know--I'm totally creeped out by it.  Knowing that he died a few weeks later just gives it a haunted feel.  Like "oooh, we're looking into his soul" or something.
