Incredible detail, especially his throat and face. He looks just as he should -- haggard, ugly as homemade sing, tough as iron, and a genuinely good dude.
Also appears to be in his 50s/60s.

Let's see where the project goes.
My great grandpa was a sailor (of the Popeye variety -- the resemblance in photos is uncanny). I have one memory of him. I was sitting on his lap. He had an anchor tattoo and bad underarm BO. To this day, I associate tattoos with body odor. Can't shake it.

Would love to hear more about it sometime, if you're so inclined. I'm intrigued. I absolutely LOVE the Olive Oyl tattoo (as well as the "I Yam what I Yam" tat across his chest)! It's an oddly moving painting for some reason I can't explain.

Sure man, I'll (eventually) PM a link.

The night storm background is a great touch.
