Bill – One Month Before Death (2021)

Posted on February 7, 2024 by lawrence hathaway

Discovered a tiny ~400px square self portrait Bill made almost exactly one month before his death.  I upscaled it, transformed it from color into black & white and added my own reimaginings in terms of tonality, etc. to make it read more closely to the way I personally saw my friend.
