“This is my favorite picture of my dad (and his dog, Wofford) — it was featured on the cover of a magazine back in the late 1930s.”

That’s a pretty cool image. And to have it be of the wearer’s father is even better.

Poorly executed?? It’s awesome.

I’ve got to agree with knifefight. The faces on the boy and dog both really bother me. Other than that it looks great and the idea is awesome.

Hmmm, I really really like this. I think I’ve seen so many attempts at a photorealistic portrait that come off badly that taking a more ‘anime-ish’ approach seems to be so much more appropriate to the medium. And surely the haters should see the original picture before passing judgement – I mean a photo from the 30s was probably massively airbrushed to the point where it looked similar to this anyway.
Just sayin’…
