Wow, I love it! I love van Gogh's work (really want to make some master studies sometime). I wanted to join this contest as well, but simply couldn't find the time unfortunately. I hope I'll be able to join sometime in the future.
Anyway, I love your take on van Gogh's self portrait!
Yeah, contests are always interesting but time consuming :) this time I've tried to make it fast. Really spent not much so I will not be upset if I'll not win.
