This unfortunate gentleman was the subject of some truly merciless photomanipulation to appear on the invites for his 50th birthday celebration. The original photograph was scanned into Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and susequently savaged in the space of about two hours each. This is the original scan. 
The aging effect was produced mainly with the dodge, burn and airbrush tools. Fortunately, due to the fact that he's quite a good looking chappie, he's ended up bearing a remarkable resemblance to Sean Connery so he wasn't too put out.
These effects were achieved using Photoshop's distortion filters, primarily the 'pinch', 'spherise' and the 'distort' features. 
Meet Derek the Dragon, cult hero and host of the Finnegan Consultancy Group web site (fluffy Dereks should be hitting the shops in time for Christmas so start queuing now). Derek was originally one of the children's play area Hallowe'en characters. This was drawn this in Abobe Illustrator and animated in GifBuilder.
