Ivy Operation

This is one of the photographs that inspired me to create my perennial creature, Trouble. (featured in the devpack at [link] )
When I originally designed him, I used this photo as one of my references and drew what was essentially the same image with distorted features. I haven't scanned or included it here as it's not up to my current standards, but I might since I've posted this now.

Another shot from the very capable camera of Juliet Conlon, taken with myself as the subject way back in 1993 I think. whenever the rest of the series of me in the trenchcoat was taken. And yes, I am in fact bow-legged, so there.

Anyhow, I've always really liked the interest created by the face being mostly obscured by the ivy except for the eyes. Hope you like it too, since i'm planning on using it and much of the rest of the pack this pic is part of to make a series of deviations, probably digital collages or something of that nature.
