well i like it a lot i saw it in the gallerys... great feeling about it.. peaceful... sums him up to me.
It captures the roughness & 'uneven' at odds with the world -slant of Lennon's persona.Also I like the colour-matchings in this portrait.
I really dig it! The overall effect that I get is an solemn introspective Lennnon, watching us and thinking "Why?"
