I believe that Carl Jones's face was added to the original Altgens 6 photo, possibly to cover up (or "mask) the coke bottle he was drinking from. Is that what you mean by mask? The Carl Jones touch up mask is straight down from the letters avi in the word Davidson. Once you realize that aspect, look at the whole metamorphosis again, but from a "touch up" alterationist artist perspective instead. Lovelady's favorite song I believe was "Stuck in the Middle With You" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thanks Chris... I do see the mask. It makes an interesting fit on Carl's face. But does it tell us something? Is it of any use to us?

Chris Davidson Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 The next artist "touch up" mask is for the crossing elbows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Davidson Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Next up: Straight down(at the photos bottom) under the "dso" in Davidson is the mask for the woman who is shading her eyes with her right arm/hand. See previous gif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that his dark features are blobbed together as a result of the low-res. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ford Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 It would have been v. easy to take his head in profile from an aftermath photo------------------ -------------------then flip it, and play with it until it's nicely embedded.

From the crossing elbow "touch up", follow the arm that runs back through the top half of the shadowed face and into Lovelady's head. Note the indention in Lovelady's head where they meet.

Chris Davidson Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 Clean lines can be another problem for "touch up" artists. In fact, just look for someone within the same photo to use for a comparison. Besides the impossible shoulder dilemma appearing, you can decide what that (red arrow) area is.
