Well, I like it a lot. It's not an exact likeness of James but it certainly does capture a certain side of him. That's the cool thing about drawing as opposed to a photograph.

In fact, the only piece of fan artwork that I am aware that James hung in his own house was an "impressionistic" version of him. He said that he would never hang something that looked exactly like himself up because he would feel that was too egotistical...but that this particular work, while he could tell that she had used an image of him, it was transformed into something else...and the whole thing was much more an expression of the artist than of him....so he loved it.

Thanks so much for starting this thread....I expect it will be very interesting. And I hope we'll get to see a lot of "impressions' of James here.

(And Amy, here would be a great place to repost some of your work, too.
