Missing is probly not the right word
His older works
are different. My favorite Esao era is 2000 to 2008. His current style feels a bit more "fluid" - I'm not saying that as a criticism, it's no less imaginative and original. But I sure do wish I could get my hands on some of the older stuff... they
seem to pack more finer detail per square millimeter than the newer works. I had the opportunity to buy classics like
The Thinker,
The Rider, Monsoon, and many more. But I was earning much less in 2005 and therefore unable to afford too much. Still, I managed to acquire a few good ones. Here's the original
Finch #2. The painting is only 7" x 10" in size, probably smaller than the print. My very first original.
