Three Muses Challenge - Stripes

Thanks for the stripey challenge, Bev!  The man's face, altered, is from a collage sheet by Moonlight journey.  I painted in his body.  Sorry that the stripes aren't exactly even but, hey, I drew them with a mouse.  The background striped vintage paper is by Lorie Davison and the overlay by Creativewings Designs.  The bird comes from my software program.  The quote is by William Shakespeare.

    You are an absolute mouse wizard. I think the stripes are remarkably straight to have been done by a mouse! Great fun, Marie, wild and crazy fun!

    You made him so much more interesting than the original guy. He could be a wizard from Harry Potter world or Samantha's long time disappeared uncle (TV series).

    I'm not sure which is more remarkable; his suit or his mustache!

    And he must be well and truly made. I love your stylish gentleman - the other stripes fade into the background (excuse the pun!). Fabulous, Marie!
