Altered Portrait

I decided to try out this Altered Art that digiscrappers are creating. If you click on the digiscrap layout, it will take you to the Gallery at Oscraps, host of the altered art challenge.  I love this and think it will be worthy of framing.  I need to do more of this.  It is fascinating.

  I used a photo that was taken by a friend in high school.  I remember that he had gotten a new camera and fancied himself a photographer and convinced me to sit for a portrait.  As you can see the colors were pretty bad and my hair was worse.  I erased the background, gave myself a haircut and then did a sketch effect and went from there.  Glad I never threw this out.  I am an admitted packrat.
