I know what you’re thinking, Paul you’ve processed one two many pixels. But this did start as a photograph as proof I’ve put the original and its evolutionary brother in the originals gallery.

I don’t always know how an image will turn out once I start to “Paulverize” it but I do know when it has reached the point where I think it’s something worth while. As soon as this appeared on my monitor it looked like a clown that was crying which is why I named it “Pagliacci” after the tragic opera about a clown written by Ruggero Leoncavallo.
