Illustrator

For some reason I decided to practice my Illustrator skills by tracing a photo of my face. So what do you think? Can you tell that this is me?

Vector version of my face

[Imported comment* originally authored by Tim.] It looks sort of like that unusually large child character on Mad TV.

[Imported comment* originally authored by Renice.] I saw this as your avatar before I saw this post... At first I couldn't figure out who it was. It took me a few seconds to figure out it was you. So... sort of.
Aside: When I think of Illustrator masters, I still think Louis Fishauf (http://www.fishauf.com/) -- he did the package designs for the first few versions of Illustrator, the ones using Botticelli's "Birth of Venus". On version 4 or 5, Adobe wanted to trumpet the ability to do more 3D work in Illustrator, so they hired someone else. It's a little ironic that Fishauf is creative director for a 3D software company now.
I was sorry Adobe stopped doing riffs on Venus -- they offset the aggravation of learning the new version a little.

[Imported comment* originally authored by renice.] On further thought, I think you should animate 'his' mouth, so he'll be a Talking Head.
I created these figures in Illustrator and then animated them in ImageReady:
