This image is titled "The Tattooed Lizard Man" and was created for another
Man Ray Group contest. We were supplied with a photo of a dead lizard and had to use that to create a new image. Here I created this little Carnival Freak show kind of theme. The nude is the "Lizard Man" and I added the lizard to his back as a tattoo. This is done in layers in Photoshop using the "mutiply" feature. I manipulated the tattoo so it curved over raised parts of the body to add more realism. I created the poster and window as well as most of the wall on the left from photos in my archive, and added the cherubic looking young man stealing a lizard to the lower left.
