The Art Models (Series 3)

The concept of the Art Models, is based on people who inspire me in life from parents, actors, singers etc. Using sharpie and a ruler I draw out them out in geometric structure then use, watercolor in pencils, crayons, and solid color, to capture the emotion in the paper. Marilyn Monroe / Justin Alexander Trish Stratus / Mathew Chavez / RuPaul 

Marilyn Monroe : an American actress, model, and singer, who became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s. Her beauty took the world by storm, now that she is gone, she left a mark on the world of fashion. Her all natural beauty and fame caught my attention and I challanged myself to draw her in one her films  1953 "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes".
Justin Alexander : an American Graphic Designer, his life story and personality influence me in my pop culture, and my personal life. Not only do I have the privilege of calling him an amazing designer but his one of my best friend now for several years. His taste for art and fashion makes him a very impressive designer not to mention his  skills for photography. When his not designing his next artwork his out educating himself in the new trending subject in  pop culture or learning about today's world issues. 
Trish Stratus : is a Canadian retired professional wrestler, former fitness model, and fitness guru, actress and television personality, better known by her former ring name Trish Stratus. She has inspired so many women in the world of wreslting for the great matches she has provided over the years in the WWE. Growing up I used to watch her wrestle each week giving great matches, she fought to make an impact for women in a men's dominating sport. Her charisma inspired me even to this day, so I decided to draw her and add her to my Art Models.
Mathew Chavez : an American contemporary artist working with mixed medium, such as paper and various textiles on canvas to create abstract portraits. His artwork and outstanding smile captured my attention on social media in early 2014, I looked at his work and saw that he stayed true to his style of work. I challange myself to draw him for inspiring to paint more so I added him to my Art Models.
RuPaul : an American actor, drag queen, model, author, and recording artist, who first became widely known in the 1990s when he appeared in a wide variety of television programs, films, and musical albums. He  style originally came from a fixture on the Atlanta and New York City club scenes. Usually billed as RuPaul Charles, he has played men in a number of roles, and makes public appearances both in and out of drag. His work of art, and televsion shows like  "RuPaul's Drag Race" has inspired me in different ways, from the form or art, to respecting others who design art in different formats, and my self confidence. I added Ru to my Art Models collection became of what he means to me.
