Rolan- You old hound dog. I think you have come up with one of the best portraits that is truely amoung the best there is. It is fun, It is so excellent in quality, the pose is so cool. I would like to see him in a pinstripped suit, with a hat and a machine gun in hand. Way to have so much fun with this. You guys are so cool.
Into my favorites it must go.
Have a great day old boy. #7452522
