here are all the images i frankenfaxed together, working through the night with welding torch and scalpel to painstakingly craft The One True Fairfax, my masterwork, the big sad man supreme. behold

#fairfax #ghost post #hark!!!! #the sixth image is the one leeds castle sent me :-D #i know all these pictures look the same i know the differences are subtle in the extreme but i can TELL #the image i made is by no means perfect (it is after all several images stacked on top of one another) but i think it is the one which best #conveys the Expression and [youth voice] Vibe of the original miniature #the picture i had before (the first one with the red background) is close but he doesnt have the same mildly interested expression that the #original has. i feel like he is leaning forwards in the original and making ‘hmm oh yes mm do go on’ noises #and i think the new one captures that :-D and also his little smile. crumb #i was going to say crumbles to dust but i will just leave it at crumb i think that does the job #anyway :-D here he is......big googly eyes and all #he looks so young in this particular portrait and especially in the new version......little small (6 foot plus) man #i have never been able to find out when it was painted but i am guessing it was sometime in the 1640s given that he is depicted in armour #and as i said last time it supposedly captures his likeness well :-D things which make me so very happy #and his silly little fringe pieces. beloved #the fifth image is also one i had to frankenfax because i found it on the cover of a book (the wilson biography) but it was at an angle so i #had to overlay it on top of the first picture and distort it until it lined up and then mess around with the colours for ages because the #original picture was a photograph from ebay in very had lighting #and then he ended up a bit wonky anyway! but no matter. frankenfaxing is a hobby of mine :-D
