So when I was asked to do a portrait of vintage Cardinals legend Ozzie Smith, I had my usual misgivings about how I was going to translate this photo of a dude into mardi gras beads...with at least some semblance of realism...
But fortunately I was able to get a little graphic design help from my trusty pal Cheree, who crucially modified the photo into a more "beadable" image...and then I took it from there....
Here are a few of my favorite close ups..
