No Country For Mike

Description

My friend Mike bares a strong resemblance to Javier Bardem, who played the unstoppable assassin Anton Chigurh in the Coen Brothers' brilliant NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy. Now ordinarily I would not feel a "Hey look, I Photoshopped my friend's face into a movie" piece is worth sharing in a public forum. However, when I did a quickie version as a joke for Mike, he said it wouldn't have pissed him off (ha ha, Mike) if I had actually put a real effort into it. The gauntlet tossed, I set about putting an effort into it; this is the result. I decided to play up the underlying Angel of Death theme.

Chilled me to my bones man, just watched it on Saturday - electrifying viewing and very tightly written, I am almost convinced to go read the book. And that line really had me trembling. I really like how you've done this with the distortion etc, but I think it would mean more to me at least if you left Javier Bardem as himself, just a thought.
