I recently did another drawing trade and this time it was with my cousin Ryne Norton. The arts run in our family as you can see and no one is hipper than this kid. He's only in his early teens and sometimes I can't differentiate his tweets from US Weekly's tweets, that's how hip he is.
So for this drawing trade we had given each other requests. This was super fun and exciting to see what each other would come up with. I told Ryne I would like a portrait of Ben Barnes (UK actor, Narnia, Prince Caspian) and Ryne said he would like me to draw a portrait of his favorite band She & Him (Zooey Deschanel, M.Ward). As usually we blew each other away with our pieces of artwork. I knew Ryne would do something amazing with Ben , but I had no idea he would make a super pop-art powered, color crazed Ben!
I love it so much, I'm framing it and it's going on my wall. I had fun depicting one of the sweetest gals in show biz, I focused on Zooey's bangs and baby blue eyes.
