Spragg looks much more sympathetic in person.
Poor guy. If one were to send flowers, would his address just be Spragg, Indonesia?

He's just sleeping Steven. The carnage will begin once he's awakened.
That's cool Paul, thanks for sharing.

That gets an article?  Next thing we'll be seeing is shapes in the clouds.

At least it's not the face of Jesus!

I wonder what it looks like if you step, say, four feet to the left?

I'd guess...a rock?
Kidding aside, I consider it interesting that we humans interpret the basic shape of a face on just about anything as long as the article has a basic 'happy-face' design. All it takes is a couple dots or slashes, :) and there's a face.

When I went to Yosemite this past summer I saw a rock that my first thought was "Hey, that looks like Spragg!"  When I mentioned it my friend just went "Huh?"

Leonardo da Vinci used to instruct his students, if they had trouble thinking of a face to draw, to go stare at old, stained wallpaper, or wood grain, until one appears.

(On one wall of my shower there is a nearly perfect T-Rex face "rising" from behind an abutment. Yesterday, outside my Studio window, there was a Roman soldier in the bushes. He's gone this morning.)

He probably had orders to move out. The Picts may be acting up again.
