I love working with him in any case, but I&#8217;m glad he answered my call for raw material for the 365sketches blog project. I started with his photo in which he was wearing a viking helmet and braids, obviously a fun photo where he was performing <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Opera\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Opera\" rel=\"wikipedia\">opera<\/a>. I decided to run with the horns theme, and give him horns of his very own. I got a CC licensed image at Flickr from Ben Pollard (<a title=\"Ben Pollard\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ben_pollard\/2343700094\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ben_pollard\/2343700094\/<\/a>)\u00a0 and did some conversions to vector, some surgery to nodes, and some fine tuning with the eraser and calligraphy tools in Inkscape. It helps that Horns are Epic, but so is Dennis.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0;
