This is a tribute to my wife's friend - Pai.
He just ran his first "Iron-Man" triathalon - 2.4 miles of swimming, 122 miles cycling, and a 26.2 mile run... ALL on the same day! He did it as a continuation of the marathons he already runs for Blood Cancer Awareness (Lymphoma, etc...), which that IM was also a benefit for... and also worth mentioning is that every two weeks he and his wife give blood platelets at the hospital for 2 hours, a much more involved process than giving blood normally, as it requires 2 tubes to cycle blood from your body.
Pai is from California, he's a photographer and my wife's friend from work, I stylized his real life face into a "comic book" look, but it's pretty close. The rest of the piece was inspired by the amazing professional Adi Granov, who did the original Iron-Man! Was a lot of fun trying to emulate a pro...
I will let you know Pai's reaction as we just sent him an email with the image, though we are printing him a poster size version. The actual image is 5,000 x 7,000 pixels and over 18MB in size at 300 dpi, so it should print pretty good, up to 19 x 27. I hope he likes it... Total work time about 8 hours.
Stages are on in the DA link, inlcuding a side by side stage next to Adi's. Okay enough goofing off, back to the queue...

EDIT: duh I corrected my post, while Pai does this for Blood Cancer awareness, some of the monies they help to raise does get donated to Breast Cancer research as well.
