A few notes on this.

First, this was inspired by =wackycracka because of the awesome "Drugs Kill" photo she posted of herself. I'd been wanting to do this for a while, but I was afraid I wouldn't get the likenesses down, and while they're not exactly as accurate as I'd like, they're as good as they're gonna get out of my hands.

This is another freehand painting done with my optical mouse in PS7. By freehand painting, I mean that I placed random splotches of black, whites, and grays, then shaped them and smudged them on layer after layer until they fit together. This time I used a brush or two for the design in the corner, and added text.

The text, in case it's -that- read in the image, is as follows:

You were my little baby girl,
I knew all your fears.
Such joy to hold you in my arms
And kiss away your tears
But now you're gone, there's only pain
And nothing I can do.
And I don't want to live this live
If I can't live for you.

This was written by Sid Vicious after Nancy Spungen's death, about her. Obviously before his overdose. I thought it appropriate since he seemed to end up looking grief stricken, and the tiny little photo I used as a reference had him in a suit and tie. Odd for him, I'd imagine.

Anyway, enjoy.
