well done

Nice picture

Fantastic mini portrait.

Thanks

Amazing image!

I thought it was supposed to be Shakespeare until I read the description.

I R E A L L Y miss this artist... I think it's terrible what happened.

What happened?

Some people were offended by some puzzles he made. He decided to leave, rather than continually defend himself.

For instance, he did a portrait of a friend of his, and another user accused him of creating a stereotypical "Jew face." Like it's his friend's fault for having dark hair and a large nose?
Edit: maybe it *was* a "Jew face," but it also looked like faces of people I've known.

Great detail for such a small puzzle. Very clear image.

I am very disappointed in this community if it could be so petty that a great puzzle maker would leave. Also, I am disappointed in the artist that he couldn't ignore the bigots and enjoy his craft.

Well, to be fair, he kept repeatedly entering puzzles that "stirred the pot" with provocative comments that sounded anti-semitic. Then he entered a puzzle that looked to several people exactly like anti-Jewish propaganda that the Nazis circulated during World War II. One of them asked him to remove that puzzle. He got angry, said the puzzle was a picture of his neighbor, and left the site. Was it his neighbor? Was it Nazi propaganda? Who knows! But it looked to me more like he was the bully, not the victim.
