Very cool.

Oddly enough, at first glance, I mistook the face on the right for Anton Webern's... and the face on the left looked a bit like Bohuslav Martinů's. Different frames of reference, I guess! :)

I wonder if if would surprise you that I have records of Anton Webern. On the other hand, I draw a blank with Bohuslav Martinu.

No surprise at all, that you would have recordings of Anton Webern... no surprise that *anyone* would have recordings of Webern. He wrote some of the most gorgeous -- and addictive! -- music that I've heard. (Would you agree, though, that your drawing of Marc Schirmeister resembles Webern?)

Martinů, to my regret, is not as well known, although his critical star has risen in the past twenty years, as more performances of his work have taken place. He wrote too much, too quickly, but he had a definite feeling for the symphony; his 3rd, 5th, and 6th are favourites of mine. (Your drawing of Fred Patten would look *very* much like Martinů, were it not for Mr Patten's stronger, more well-defined chin.)

Interesting image, almost like the traditional image of Janus. Which issue of Rowrbrazzle was this in?

It was in a 75th. issue artists' jam, that ought to have been in Rowrbrazzle 75. Jed Martinez produced it, but I don't think I realized he was going to shrink my piece down to quarter page size. Fortunately it was still quite legible.
