Lysander Spooner

[awake]

Working from two hard to define photos I tried to capture him in a portrait. Still a lot of work to do...

Don't know if I will pull it off... we'll see..

Here is my progress

Excellent work.

Are those the only 2 photos that exist, or just the only 2 you used?

2 that I used... If there are better ones please show me where...

I don't know. I've seen 2, a left facing one and a right facing one. But I thought if you were researching for this you might have found out what exists out there of him.

Somebody put this on a T-Shirt with a poignant quote.

This might be my favorite work of yours, yet, Awake! Fantastic job!

It's like the 19th century's greatest philosopher, proto-epic beard man, and American badass extraordinaire is in the room with me right now.

So potent and magnificent I feel like if I printed it out and hung a copy on my wall, it would shield me from tyranny and repel statism while I sleep!

You've got the gift.

Santa=Lysander Spooner?

He did own a mail company so maybe that's how kids got their gifts in 1844. It sucks that Santa was forced to use the nationalized service afterwards..

j/k

really awesome picture!

 

[BuddyRey]

I just couldn't let this go unbumped!

Nice, I'm definitely saving this.

 

[BuddyRey]

^ Me too. It's my PC's desktop wallpaper right now.

 

[Anti Federalist]

I. Am. Impressed.

Great work.

 

[BuddyRey]

One more bump, just to make sure Heavenlyboy sees it.

 

[Vessol]

That is indeed an epic print.
