This was done sometime in '05... though it seems far more recent than that. I guess I just haven't had as much time to do art, anymore.

You're probably going to see a lot more of this guy than you want to, too, just because he's my main character in almost everything I do and so he gets a lot of pictures done. I think I'm sitting at some 200 pics of him since he was created back in like '98 or so, but most of them are not good quality. You live and learn.

The name of the photo (VGO) comes from the photograph I used for the background.. and funnily enough, now that I found the background art, I can't find the name anywhere...

The 'name' is Vivid Grounds, and the O stands for Original, as far as I can remember.

I did contact Mr. Kirchner for explicit permission to use his photograph in my art, and I'm ever so thrilled he agreed. This piece is not to make me money, anyway, though I may make a giant sized poster-print of it someday.
