L Thanks Jim. That's a tremendous compliment, though I think the reference photo's not-realness was mostly a matter of it being a bad cutout. You can make out a street scene in the reflections on it, butwhen they cut it out and put it on white they didn't match up the faked-in shadows right and stuff (the primary shadow should be reaching back away from the viewer, not towards, and off to your left, not your right, based on the lighting on the cart and especially the awning -- they used a flipped, distorted copy of the alpha chennel they made for the mask and blurred it -- shoddy workmanship). Err, well, I guess an apron would be a good idea, wouldn't it. sigh and I was so close to done. I'll think about it. I still gotta make the soda cans. Though I never noticed the hot dog vendors in NYC wearing aprons. Nor in Chicago. The ones at Pioneer Square by you, sure. And probably the ones in Central Park do, too, I think. And maybe down by the bottom where tourists go to see the Statue. I know they do in Lincon Park in Chicago, too. bandies about the possibility... I'd have to charge more if I'm including a conformer... Course, the ones in Portland are mostly hawking Honkin' Huge Burritos and Hummus and stuff.
