A Larry Craig portrait by Thom Bierdz...

Been meaning to post this all week. This is artist Thom Bierdz' "Portrait of Senator Craig" that he did last night from images on Larry King. Bierdz says he does not create portraits from judgment, rather curiosity. I profiled Thom for Frontiers magazine awhile back. He is best known for playing Phillip Chancellor III on "The Young and the Restless" from 1986-1989. Since then he has endured some personal horrors (mother's murder at the hands of paranoid schizophrenic brother, other brother's suicide) which he writes about movingly in his critically-acclaimed memoirs "Forgiving Troy."
