I noticed this theme on the site, and thought I'd give it a try.

The center image was taken last summer (2004). I made three copies of the image, then used Photoshop to split my face along my nose line, then copied one side, pasted and flipped the side horizontally. I did the same thing for the other side of the face and, voila!

I may try this again with a different image in a few days. I think the main reason for the disparity between the two sides is due to the fact that I'm not facing the camera dead on.

I pasted the three images into a larger canvas in Photoshop, added the text, and sharpened it before reducing the image dimensions and saving it.

That's a funky try. Nice job, but you're right, I believe you'd get better results when facing the camera straight. Still, interesting post.

A new one! Great! It give good result! Welcome on the theme!

well, I'd say - welcome to theme! and welcome to my alien family! :)
i got smth similar to your's here. and also just because i didn't look straight into camera. but - who sais that's not good? at least - different!
i like this one!

I have to say the "real" Mikey is much more friendly looking! I really like the differences here, the smile is interesting in the clones. Well done, and welcome to the "split club"
