His face looks like it's seen as many miles as his boots, which are nicely exagerated by the perspective. This image demands stories to go with it -- excellent. Wish I could see a print, as the screen doesn't give that face the detail it must contain.
Posted by Peter at March 4, 2006 05:22 AMNice - how does it look in b&W?

Like Peter mentioned "This image demands stories to go with it", but I think leaving it with no information allows us to conjour up our own stories.
If it wasn't for the pacman machine he's sat infront of, and the zip detailing on the close up you provided I would have found it hard to date this picure.
Its great ;)
Posted by JD at March 5, 2006 09:30 AMHe reminds me of that knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Although, instead of offering kind words to Harrison Ford, he's offering me a chance to run away before he breaks my knees for attempting to beat his score.

Posted by Moeview at March 6, 2006 09:02 AMThis one somehow reminds me of the carnivale series. He seems somewhat out of place. =)
Posted by iphi at March 6, 2006 12:12 PMI thought Stephen Kings, Dark Tower when I saw this geezer - what a great character. I thing this one is definitely the best of the three versions.
Posted by garyx at March 6, 2006 03:39 PMIt looks like an oil painting from the old west. I really like how dark it is. Its cool how it feels so formal for a picture of a guy sitting around smoking.
Posted by Tuffer at March 6, 2006 03:47 PMawesome portrait
