|  "Strange questions to the drawers"
, posted Fri 24 Oct 07:17
Here's my strange story, and the question is: has this ever happened to you?
Last Saturday, I went for a drink with friends. In the cafe, I was introduced to the new boyfriend of a very close friend of mine. This man's name is Julien. I talked a lot with them 2, while the friends I came with were on another side of the cafe. I vouldn't take my eyes off Julien, as I thought this guy has the perfect hair, the perfect eyes, the perfect face. And he stared at me so intensely and peacefully. He kept smiling during the whole conversation, which I found unusual and charming at the same time. I must say I was sorta "spellbound". As we talked some more, my friend told me Julien had some sort of gift, a sort of prescience or something. Well, double vision or I don't know what (I don't particularly care about those things). As we all said goodbye, a few hours later, I was thinking, wow, I wish I had this man's face.
Back to my city the next day, I realised his face had left a really strong impression on me, in a sort of obsessive way. Right here I must specify it was not desire and had nothing sexual to it. The next two days I had his face in mind. I thought, the guy simply must have great charisma, so I asked my friends if they had also seen how beautiful his face was. I realised I had been the only one to have "succumbed" to him. I was utterly perplexed and wondered how much longer this impression would last. Until the third day.
There's one drawing of mine that I have pinned on the wall in my living room. I see this drawing every day. I drew it 3 years ago. It represents a magician. The face of the manga-like magician I drew is the same face as Julien. I couldn't believe my eyes. The hair, the look, the shape of the face, the androgyny are Julien's. What's more, I drew a beauty spot where Julien had one near the mouth. Apart from other coincidences like the fact they both have something to do with magic or prescience, and other miscellaneous ones, I was wondering if you had ever come across a face or person that you had drawn before, and what state of mind did it leave you on?

James Marsters (Spike from Buffy and Angel). He has the same bone structure i like to use on "bad boy" characters.
By the way, is it ok to use the term "drawers"? Isn't "penciller" the correct one?

Umm... not sure. I know I've seen people walking down the street that vaguely resemble someone I've drawn before, but nothing like the situation you've described. I've also seen people that I'd like to draw, and people that look almost exactly like a character from a game or cartoon (I've met a graphic designer that looked like Johnny Bravo only with red hair and glasses, and a guy that looked EXACTLY like Yamazaki, only with a goatee- I almost asked him for his autograph). I'm sure a situation like that happens to most artists, just not as intense as what you described.
THAT'S DANNY. His hometown is New Orleans.
