Portrait :: Illustration Friday

Self Portrait

This reminds me of the Norman Rockwell self-portrait (the one where he's smoking a pipe) but with a modern twist.
 
Amy- I probably should have added an apology to Norman Rockwell. Yes, indeed, the image is my version of his self-portrait, which I think was very clever. Mr. Rockwell did his portrait in his medium. I did mine in mine. Be sure to check out The Unknown.

I like it. But there is one detail in error... since it is a camera and not a mirror, the image should be leaning in from the other side. /:-P

Have you considered an entire series of re-done famous art? Or maybe challenge yourself from now on to always tip your hat to another artist in you IF posts... So far, they are quite well done.
 
I actually noticed that just before posting and gave serious thought to 'fixing' it. But, then thought 'let's see anyone notices'. You win. You receive my undying gratitude.

BTW - Interesting that we both included screen shots of our paint programs.
