Following in the steps of great artists like Van Goth and Rembrandt, I decided to do my own self-portrait. I wanted it to use for social media to make me look younger.

Marilyn Monroe
The iconic Marilyn Monroe she is arguably one of the most recognizable movie stars of all time. There are so many artist doing their own version of her, so I decided to do my own.I hope you like it.
Hedy Lamarr
This is my second portrait of Hedy Lamarr, she was not only a talented and beautiful movie star she was also an inventor. In the 1940s she invented a radio guidance system for the U.S. Navy. It was not used, but in the 1960s it was used to create what we now call Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. She was inducted into the national inventors Hall of Fame in 2014, unfortunately she died January 19, 2000 aged 85.
Audrey Hepburn
This is my second portrait of actress Audrey Hepburn. As my style has begun to get more professional looking. I decided to start adding a copyright, it took a while to get it working right, but now I have it both on the art work and in the metadata. Hopefully people will respect the copyright.
Mila Kunis
This is a portrait of This is a portrait of Mila Kunis. She played Jackie Burkhart on the TV show “That 70s show”. In 2001 she transitioned over to Movies. I always liked the way she looked. In this portrait I tried a couple of different techniques, for the flower I made a gradient using the same colors from the photo that I used. And for the hair I traced around the highlights and added a color that was only a little lighter than the base color.
