I drew this a few years ago for a Caribbean-themed party flyer. The original piece was full-length, but I like this design because it kind of resembles a modernized twist on the cameo or nefertiti pins (remember them? they used to be on chokers and junk jewlery in the 90s. Really bad fashion mistake).

This started out as a joke. I had some pictures from a retro fashion show I modeled in a while ago, and thought I'd make it into a fake magazine cover, since I am about ten years too late for that dream to ever materialize (it's not going to stop me from taking pictures, though). I looked up a bunch of old pulp men's magazines online, and the article titles were hilarious and racy in their quaint way. But there were never any pinups of color on any of the covers, so I naturally had to make a Soul Mosaic version based on stuff I imagined would have been going on in 1968 for the "modern male."

This is a remix of a flyer that originally showed the likenesses of two good friends and I who hosted a holiday fête. In this new version, the three panels are from enitrely separate projects, and then the color balance altered to create more contrast. The first panel is from a sketch I drew in college, the second is an homage to an actor I used to have a crush on (until his pretty crappy sitcom and acting cured me), and the third is a cartoon self-portrait I did for fun that never quite resembed me, but that I always liked. So I figured I'd revive the images for this design.
