Alex, this is stupendous! When I visited your studio and saw you at the beginning of this project, I just shook my head in disbelief than anyone could pull this off. You showed me your disparate reference images with the cut-out hair and masking tape. Not only did you pull it off, but it is arguably your most moving portrait, and a very successful one. You put a lot of humanity into this one. I love her LIFE despite the fact it's posthumous, one would never detect that; and I love your sense of humor in the interplay of the characters. Superb!

Garth
