Working With an Aging Artist:

Since so much time has past since Izzy disappeared, it has been brought to my attention that we might need to create a photo of what Izzy would look like now. I spoke to a bead artist at the mall who said that the FBI has these people trained in the art of “face aging”. (I guess the whole body ages, but I think our best bet to find Izzy has more of a chance to identify his face than his knees or elbows.) Since we don’t have the funds to pay one of these trained artists, I asked him for a few tips that we could use on a budget. He said to gray up the hair (which feels sacrilege, I know), and make the ears and nose a little bigger. He also said I could maybe add some wrinkles, but Izzy was always a stickler for moisturizing, so I don’t know. He also told me that “black don’t crack” but Izzy always said no to drugs, so I don’t think that would be a problem. I’ll post the image when I’m done!
