LOUIS ARMSTRONG
I am starting a new jazz series this month to follow up on my series of illustrations from 2012. It feels good to switch gears and work on portraits for a change.

WYNTON MARSALIS
This is the first of two portraits of Wynton. He has such a round face and soft features that it was hard to get a view of him where the light dramatically defined his likeness. This illustration shows him somewhat younger. I wanted the portrait to fit well with the series so choosing the right image to work with is important.

BILLIE HOLIDAY
I had to do a portrait of Billie Holiday this summer. If any singer sizzles like a hot summer day its Billie.

ORNETTE COLEMAN
Just finished another portrait in my jazz series. This dramatic view of Ornette Coleman was too good to pass up as a subject.
