Ok, so I finally found this link to a picture of a younger Christopher Carrion, after I was told about its existance a while back... I have to confess, it's not quite as I imagined him being... maybe that's because he has a nose! What happened to make him lose his nose? It's a mystery! www.clivebarker.info/carrionyoung.html

Wow yeah different. His nose is pretty prominent I guess I never thought it would be .. but maybe he cut it off.. aha

I always assumed his nose sort of rotted off after being submerged in the liquid in his collar. I suppose there might actually be a story behind it, although I can't imagine it really coming up in the books. I just don't see someone approaching Carrion and asking "Hey, man, why don't have a nose?"
For me, the weirdest part about this picture has always been his hair. He was blonde? I never would've guessed.
I desperately wanted to buy this book - there was so much gorgeous art in it, including this picture! But the book was really, really expensive. So... ehh... no young Christopher Carrion for me.

Yeah I probably wouldn't have pictured him with blonde hair. I know I want that book too! It would be so awesome!

That is not really how I imagined him looking either. The nose doesn't really bug me much, cuz I do imagine he had one and some point. It's the hair that gets me. I pictured dark hair, not some cross between orange and blonde.

Oh, I love that painting! I own the book (Visions of Heaven and Hell), and it's absolutely amazing. I looked over that picture quite a few times without ever knowing it was supposed to be Christopher Carrion, though.

I can barely believe that's him...he looks so different...He almost looks like Mendelson Shape. It's odd cause his face seems so much more lively and happy looking. Thanks for sharing that, cause I thought he'd look a lot different.

Blonde... Interesting. Not what I was expecting, but cool. I guess everyone's young at some point, but I'd never thought about a young Christopher Carrion. Thanks for the link, redstockings.

I had seen that picture awhile back and I had read Clive mentioning something that the hair was to be fire-like (this is me paraphrasing btw) because it was a metaphor for all of carrion's pent up rage and anger and fear (having Motley as your grandmother and sole guardian will do that you know!). So perhaps that's what happened to his nose- he let all that pent up anger out in form of his nightmares, his hair falls out and his nose rots off!
