Sorry, just had to delete the copyright on the drawing. It's a
CC-by-sa 2.5license; the whole point of this discussion. It was
rather ironic to slap a
(c) notice on the drawing which is supposed to demonstrate the "right" way
to do it.

This discussion has forgotten about one of the traditional media that

can try to prevent himself from being photographed except under terms
he dictates, but he can not (at least in the US) prevent an artist
from drawing or painting him based on whatever images are available,
in any way the artist may please, fair or unfair, characteristic or
satyrical, and publishing it as desired--as long as it is not an
actual reproduction of the original.
This worked a treat on our article for the author Jim Butcher. I posted a
request for an image on his fan forum and the favourite image turned out
to
be this:

Surely any author with even a modest fan-base can manage this ;-)
