Brian Kershisnik

 * ... that artist Brian Kershisnik describes his art as "mythological autobiography"? Source: "DN: In a paragraph, please describe your style. BK: Yeah, that’s hard. I kind of think of it as somewhat of a mythological autobiography. They are all paintings that emerge from my own experience." (Deseret News Q and A)
 * ALT1:... that Brian Kershisnik ' s own experience witnessing childbirth inspired his painting Nativity? Source: "BK: I thought about the births of my own children and how densely witnessed those events felt. Then I thought, I’ll do the birth of Jesus." (Deseret News Q and A)
 * ALT2:... that Brian Kershisnik painted a portrait of Leslie Norris that was refused by the person who requested it? Source: "A portrait of Welsh poet Leslie Norris began as a request from the Norris’s neighbor. Since Kershisnik doesn’t generally do commissions — or portraits for that matter — he decided to do a piece of his own choosing with Leslie as the subject and allow the neighbors the first right of refusal. Unfortunately (for the neighbors) they did refuse the piece." (15 Bytes Magazine)

 * Comment: I nominated this last December, but it did not qualify for DYK then. As a new GA it now qualifies. The Nativity hook could be held until Christmas (too early?).
