New Work: Jim Jarmusch Portrait Illustration for Nylon Guys April 2014 Issue
Just got an amazing opportunity to create a portrait illustration of one of my all time favorite film directors Jim Jarmusch who made movies such as Down by Law, Night on Earth, Dead Man and Ghost Dog. Characterized as a minimalist filmmaker his movies are often unhurried with long still shots and focusing more on character development and mood instead of clear plot progression - just like I do with my illustrations! The portrait was scheduled to appear in Nylon Guys April 2014 issue.
