Writer, Director, Art Collector, fellow New Jerseyan and all around Hollywood Heavyweight KEVIN SMITH (AKA Silent Bob-NOICH! CLERKS 2) has commissioned Cojo to paint a family portrait of Smith, his wife Jennifer, and daughter Harley Quinn.

Kevin is one of the most famous art collecting celebrities around, having commissioned THIS PORTRAIT OF HIS DAUGHTER- (READ ARTICLE) from famed Austrian artist GOTTFRIED HELNWEIN. Kevin says in that article about commissioning portraits: "I don't spend money on coke or whores, and I'm not a big car guy with a fleet of Ferraris or anything like that. But I can get behind an indulgence like this." Referring to the Helnwein Portrait.

If only more of Hollywood thought like this!

Kevin says of Artsucks.com:

"I clicked on the Art Sucks blog and really dug your stuff. I think it's pretty funny that a white dude from the Jersey 'burbs specializes in drawing black folks so well."
-Kevin Smith

Thanks Kevin! I feel honored to memorialize your family in paint. You've got great taste in artists. When I have a kid I'm sure I'll commission a portrait from Gottfried myself, he's amazing.
