A life portrait for a business card...

Posted May 22, 2005 11:00 AM.

Awesome - after posting up my business card side effects of the plasticbag.org redesign, I got sent this terrific e-mail from Siobhan Curran of Tranniefesto:

A while back, I purloined a couple of images from your Flickr photostream, ran them through the processes that I use to make my photographic work, and ended up with what (in my mind anyway) is a portrait of you. Now, I hardly *ever* do this, but I thought, maybe, it would make n appropriate background for the business cards you mentioned today. You'll most likely hate it - it has none of the transparency that you were aiming for - but I thought I'd send it to you anyway. Can't blame a girl for trying...

Well I don't hate it, I think it rocks, and I'm absolutely delighted that Siobhan sent it to me. And so I'm going to share it with the rest of you:

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.

DAMN, yo!

Your stripy and multi-colored AND your name, e-mail and URL are plastered right on your foreghead. Wow!

Too cool...

Hmm. I'd take out the http:// from the front of the link.

And the A looks a bit too caps, but...

My thought exactly regarding the "http." Love the look, though, and the sentiment behind it.
