The original of this is a four foot tall, standup figure drawn in markers by Marc Schirmeister. I photographed it and worked it over digitally to restore it in useful form. Though I haven't changed anything Schirm drew, I did make the black background actually *black*. Schirm's marker ran out of ink, so that a motley shade of grey was the best he could do.

I also decided I could add colour without doing violence to Schirm's intention's. For Saara's hair it was a simple matter of altering grey to blue. For Saara's arms and legs I imported textured blue from her hair, using the rubber-stamp tool in Photoshop. The result looks rendered by the same markers in the same way, as though the artist had coloured the art himself. Or at least that was the plan.To see the image in its orginal four foot tall, faded grey glory, go to:
