Lee Oswald and Etc.
Paul with Wrecked Car and an UNhappy Camper
Final Product. Step four has me cutting out and dropping in the pouting-Lee photo (with his drawn-in toy with shadows to match). Draining the color out, adding an even layer of "grain" to homogenize the image so to cover over most of the 'seams,' and giving it a yellowed border completes the snapshot effect. It still has a painterly, fantasy feel though, which is not dissimilar to how this would look if I had drawn it by hand. But I find this route more challenging (since again, I do NOT have nor want Photoshop! Too hard at this point to teach an old dog new tricks...)
