Sometimes it ain't easy

Been struggling all night with an image and just can't make it happen. These are what I've come up with so far. Not thrilled with either. It may not be meant to be. Sigh.

This is a sketch I did today then messed with in Paint Shop. I'll most likely be adding it to some Zazzle items. It was inspired by a photo of the amazingly talented Mark Hollis formerly of the '80s band Talk Talk.
