Artist's Comments

So this is made intentionally to print at large size (although the original linework was not). The idea is that Inkscape and some of its features allow me to tweak simple linework quite radically if I use the potrace function along with a large sample rate, and then tweak inflections in the strokes, and add or delete fills as desired.

This was initially a 4\" x 6\" ballpoint line drawing that I scanned at 300 DPI (a 600 one exists, but it was a pain to deal with) then torqued in Inkscape and finished in Photoshop. The details (and feel free to dl the \'full sized\' image to see more) was designed to be plastered on any wall at large size where a rather enigmatic face could stare back at passers by.

I am thinking of making a variation with a word/though bubble left open, so people can get prints or postcards, insert whatever witticism they wish, and use accordingly.

It was originally going to be called 'The Elitist'

It reminds me of Bob Dylan's face.

I've been staring at this for a while now, completely mesmerized. If the title suggests that this will be a series, then I'm exicted.

This is really cool. It seems a little different, which is always good. Developing new modes is always good.
I like 'the elitist'.

I love this... it reminds me of John Belushi... and the colours in the full view are great, you don't really notice them at first, but it seems really intricate.
