In case the article subject or someone who knows him sees this, Wikipedia:A picture of you may be of interest. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:49, 20 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I too just saw the Pitchfork article about musicians' Wikipedia photos, and I did not think the more recent image was an improvement by any means, with most of his face caught in shadows. I've found a much better image from 4 years ago that is suitable after some cropping, rotation, and color adjustment. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 01:07, 21 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
