Eye of the Beholder

This one is hot off the presses. I just finished it.

The man was in Seattle, on a recent trip there. Although he was outside a cafe at the time of this shot, I wanted something bright and BOLD in the background of this picture, and as I love graffiti, just not on my house ..please... the idea came to me for this backdrop.

I had a photo of this 'eye' poster on a wall in Australia, and decided to use it, with my own (not so professional) lettering over the top of it.
These graffiti artists are very talented, just wish they could direct their talents to a more receptive audience.

I used the brick overlay to knock all the background back, and although it is very much a feature, I hope you can decipher the figure in the foreground.
