(972 posts)The work-in-progress is fantastic! Such a talented artist. Maybe he'd donate this to Bernie?
On Edit: His other pre-Raphaelite-inspired work is simply amazing. Also, he's convinced me to give the full beard another go! My new favorite artist-illustrator.

(31,935 posts)Gonna try rocking the 19th Century beard and handlebar mustache look, eh? (Funny, when I met him years ago he was clean shaven and had short spiky gelled hair)!
He donates a lot to Bernie. He may be selling this on Every Day Original for a fundraiser if it doesn't already have a buyer: http://www.everydayoriginal.com/#alloriginals The owner of that site is a huge Bernie supporter (and also Olivia Wilde's brother-in-law. She's for Hillary, so those family play dates with their kids are probably interesting these days)!

(972 posts)I used to have a really good full beard, but now, at 57, it's getting white and doing weird things (like migrating to my back and ears!) Just sporting the goatee right now.
I hope Scott is able to auction that for Bernie; I'll have to check it out. Let him know he's got a new fan.
