jeremy piven inspired portraits

The Project. Create a portrait of bob dylan inspired by Jeremy Pivens. The objective was to show who the person was using the least amount of symbols or pointing signs. For Dylan I chose the harmonica and the sunglasses. Shape of head and hair were carefully considered when doing the portrait. I origanally had it without the distressed look and it looks shitty. But i am very please with the results as was the class. Crit was awesome.
