But it did get me to think a little about what a likeness is and how we each have a mental image against which we judge these things. With this in mind I made the Steve Jobs likeness this evening. Whilst I was looking at Jobs' many images on an my iPad, somewhat appropriate I thought , I came to realise how, while his face has changed over time, the one thing that always seem to be the same where his eyes which seemed to be brimming with life right to his last product launch not long before his death. For sometime now I have been concentrating only on the eyes and mouth ratio as the basis for any likeness and then let the brain do the rest of the work. Sometimes it works sometime it doesn't but looking at Jobs I have come to realise you also have to try and capture the anima of the person - no small task. - Now if I'm honest I don't think I managed that with the Connery - so perhaps my wife was right in asking - Who is it?
