I wish I did! I'm in the background in my trainer's kit. 
Saw this shot at the old AFL Museum at the MCG before they replaced the Members but the shot was taken by a photographer from the Age and it was run in the Sunday Age in the Psst section on back page as their Mark of the Year.
I reckon the Age may be your best bet and God be with you as that mark still lingers in my mind. He could do anything in the ressies TK but failed in the seniors. He even admitted such to me last year at the Kings of the Pride function.

It was taken by a guy at Sporting Pic's which is now Getty's I believe, Galia and Alan Hardy have a photo of it as they sponsored Tommy at the time.
I used to deal a lot with them and they have a huge archive of pics, so try them, not the Age.

Dad & I sponsored Mark Zanotti that year and we got TK to turn up to our work function in lieu of Saviour and the girls loved it!

I'm not sure about his uncle, but his father, Brent Crosswell was a super talent. Tommy showed glimpses of talent, but seemed to struggle with the defensive side of his game. That was certainly something he needed, as his teammates at Fitzroy didn't have the skills to be front-runners.
Crosswell didn't seem to need a defensive side. He could just biff someone, if they got in his way. His physical intimidation of opponents, who were never sure when he might explode, was a big part of his game. Tom had a different temperament, but the game had also changed by the time he played. You couldn't get away with biffing blokes as much in the 90's. Maybe Crosswell would not have been as an effective player in that era either.

There's an autographed, framed print of it on the wall of the public bar of the Cri in Castlemaine.
What's the connection with the Cri or Castlemaine?
Mobbs
A Large Portion, Yes
I think he came from there ... why the Criterion I dunno, he seemed too soft-spoken to be a front bar regular of the Cri!
Tom lived in Castlemaine with his Mum.

That proves my memory is incorrect! I always thought I was in the background of that shot for some reason, perhaps because I was on the opposing pocket when he took the mark.
He took that mark right out front of the players race from memory which is where some staff and obviously the photographer were standing.
Mobbs and a few of the Lynch Mob used to turn up to those matches and were usually behind me on the north-eastern hill in that pocket and therefore would've seen the mark from the exact same position as I did.

Yeah Tim I remember someone of the Mob mates saying they saw it, though I myself wasn't there. I believe it conflicted with an interstate match for the seniors.

Looks like you're the victim of a severe cropping there, TtT.

UTILITY (to Chocolate Starfish’s “Four letter word”)
He's in and out, he's all about,
Where-ever he is, he hears us shout.
He can be in attack, or up the back,
Or on the wing, he’s got the knack.
It's a jungle out there,
You will be the worse for wear,
If you annoy Tommy K.

Looking for a utility that plays something like this.
While kicking dew, just for something to do,
He’ll take a roost, right over you.
When he’s in the firsts, it really hurts,
When he hits rock-hard, yeah, there’s nothing worse around.
