Twain Eyes
When Mark Twain's autobiography was released - it was held untill 100 years after his death for release - I saw this image of him. I believe that this is the image from the cover of the autobiography. I forget how I came about it, but for whatever reason, I thought that the eyes alone were amazing so I cropped the image to this format and I found that the character still remained. As usual, I became obsessed, and had to create a digital charcoal based on the cropped photo.

"Hitch"
This was the first concentrated attempt to use digital media to emulate real world media. He's one of my favorite filmmakers, and I just loved that Apple used this portrait for it's "Think Different" Campaign

Playmate
Did this one from a Playboy photo.
Not crazy about this one, but I like the pillow and the folds in the material at the bottom right hand corner of the frame.

Rummy
This was to be the second in a series called "The Despots"

Houdini
I'm fascinated by magic but more by the characters behind the magic. They broke the mold after this guy.

Veronica
Who doesn't like Veronica Lake, although the proportions are a little wacked

Eagle
I did a project where I had to create CG eagles, so during my research I started to get consumed with pen and ink and eagles. This actually started as a pencil sketch. I scanned the sketch and then finished it with "digital ink".

"What are you looking at?"
Cecilia Dean. I'm not sure who she is, I think she edits a magazine. A VERY expensive magazine.
Some of the issues cost $10,000
I liked the pose and the look on her face so I thought that she would make a good subject.
