Portrait of an Elder- Shirey

The man looks like he wants to tussle with someone while he wears a Popeye the Sailor shirt. Ironically he looks like an older Popeye with one eye staring you down. He most likely could have been the inspiration for the cartoon, but I believe he thinks he IS the character. As I drew him, I became attached and decided I wanted to meet this man, thinking he is a tough, takes no crap from anyone kinda guy with a hilarious personality. All he needed was a pipe and some spinach to create the full fledged dude. I want to shake the man's hand and get to know his history, which to me is a WWII sailor staring down at the enemy grunting and ready to punch.
