This image has lurked in the back of my brain probably since you first posted it, and for some reason I could never find it again. I always thought you'd taken it down (why would you do that?). I'd go searching for it about twice a year and then give up again.
And now I've finally found it. This is my favourite homage to that portrait, ever.

That's really very kind of you to say, and I'm pleased that you like it. To this day, the painting on which this is based is still my absolute favorite.

Indeed. I have sent you an e-mail. (Some days ago) You will send me one also? I am on the lookout for a small anchor pendant here - I am informed that there are many bead shops in the area, and I believe we will be visiting them. Also, I found Raspberries. <3

Thank you. I tried to keep the differences to a minimum, but there are still several blunders present. I'd intended to get a pack of Cherry Drajum cigarettes for this picture since they are the only cigarettes that I know of that have a red filter, but I didn't. The good news is: with the amount of photoshop death that I inflicted on this, they wouldn't have shown up anyway. Besides, Cherry Djarums smell rather like an air freshener right out of a gas station men's room, which I don't need in my life.

You have just identified the mysterious "dash of something else" included in the fine aroma of Cherry Djarums that I could never quite put my finger on.
