Barry Self Portrait (sorta... not really)

So it seems that everyone wants a face to associate with an online account, but in the lit world, anonymity is a must (at least for me). So what's a guy to do? I don't want to invent a fictional look out of whole cloth, so I came up with a compromise. I went to one of those celebrity look-alike sites and uploaded my picture.

The three main results I got were:
- Christian Bale
- Johnny Depp
- Diego Luna (starring in upcoming Star Wars movie).

Next I got some face compositing software and took pictures of those three gents AND my real face and morphed them together. A few filters and digital cleanup tasks later, and I arrived at this "face".

Thoughts? I think my "avatar" either looks like Barry Gibbs or Charles Manson.... LOL

The real me is in there... somewhere...



- Barry

Lovely.
