My sister found this (Beware the Mars Hoax - NASA) and it sure looks like him, though the article has nothing to do with him. I guess the artist is a fan.

but otherwise, nice artwork.
Yes, I believe the artist did use Morrissey as the model.
Very romantic.

It's a very pretty picture though. One of those where you just want to hug him and tell him everything will be ok.

Another artist with a grudge against him, lol.
Seriously, folks: bars...Mars...
Does anybody else see the subliminal ad here? Or am I far too suspicious for an earthling?
"Help the NASA launch that rocket: eat chocolate".

Thank you for your 'kindness' too, for sharing, and in a delightful way, that HAS been well received and welcome by many. Hasn't it? You're a popular one here. If the hyperromantics lose heart and stop breathing in humane compassion, and thought-provoking discourse, others keep the show on the road. Your breadth of world knowledge is a fortune, the value of which you may not realise. So when the spirit moves, in your own time, see if you want to continue helping us see stars in a blue sky, because you can do this. Like Caetano, exiled I presume for bravely publicising the truth about the then Brazilian government.
I would be amazed if you haven't already experienced soaring dramas close to "Damage" (careful!) or "Thomas est amoureux", and hope you find your match in the excitement, depths and tenderness you exude.
People have busy lives, as you might find shortly again yourself, yet there's some wonderful creativity and imagination and passion flowing around here, buoying up the flotsum and jetsum, and in all, a representative cross-section of fans.
Till we meet again, here are some other strange signs to ponder: : )
The following are actual signs mostly seen across the U.S.A
At gas/petrol eateries through the nation: Eat here and get gas.
At a Santa Fe gas station: We will sell gasoline to anyone in a glass container.
In a New Hampshire jewelry store: Ears pierced while you wait.
In a New York restaurant: Customers who consider our waitresses uncivil ought to see the manager.
On the wall of a Baltimore estate: Trespassers will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. -- Sisters of Mercy

Flying Saucers In The Sky (Score:1)
No where to go
I'm lonley, London, London
It's lovely though
(...)
Everybody keeps the way clear
I came to say this
And I say
2x
Oh, my eyes
Have been looking for flying saucers
In the sky...
Monday, Tuesday
Pass my way
I just happen to be here
And it's OK..."
I heard an amazing interpreter for this song - Caetano Veloso (from Bahia, Brazil). He sang it during his political exile,in London, during the Brazilian dictatorship of the 70s. Not written very accurately, I have to add, but I thought it could have the same feeling as the photo here.
Caetano is very ethereal and soft-spoken, too. He should have posed with Moz - it would have given the image a cross-cultural mojo!
