Had an itch to draw and didn't want to draw me again. I've drawn me or painted me over 60 times. So I took a freeze-frame from a documentary a friend of mine made and used one of our co-workers as a model. Tom Devlin, now owner of Drawn + Quarterly was once someone I worked with at the Million Year Picnic. All that hair and the scruffy facial hair called to me to draw them, so I did. Pencils and then the inked version just for comparison. Very much glad that the effort didn't end up looking like me. And my partner, who's met Tom once instantly recognized him. So there's that.
